LISBON GIRLS BASKETBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH NIKKI MEEK

LISBON OH- The Lisbon Blue Devils Girls Basketball program is charting a new course this season under the leadership of their newly appointed head coach, Nikki Meek. A former player and assistant coach within the program, Meek is poised to bring a fresh yet familiar energy to the court.

In a recent edition of “Coach’s Corner,” Meek shared her excitement about taking over the head coaching position and her vision for the team’s culture and philosophy. Emphasizing teamwork, high intensity, and a strong defensive mindset, Meek aims to elevate the team’s standards and performance. Some key players to watch this season include juniors Lila Brown and Jaden Smith, who are returning lettermen and have shown great dedication during the offseason. Senior Michaela Farson is expected to have a significant impact, and new addition Emmy Cook, along with promising freshman Bridget Newbold, adds depth to the roster.

Highlighting the importance of leadership, Meek praised the commitment of upperclassmen and introduced Mara Householder, a senior who is new to the basketball program but already demonstrating invaluable leadership skills drawn from her softball experience. The Blue Devils face a challenging schedule both within and outside the EOAC conference. With opponents like United, Colombiana, and Southern standing strong, Meek’s squad is ready to compete and make their mark. Additionally, non-conference games against teams like Louisville, Bridgeport, Malvern, and Heartland will test their mettle as they aim for a deep tournament run.

The expansion of tournament divisions offers Lisbon an exciting opportunity to compete on a more level playing field, similar to their volleyball counterparts who reached the district finals this past season. Meek hopes to carry that momentum into basketball and brings a renewed sense of optimism to the program. Supporting Meek in this endeavor is assistant coach Jamie Wise, along with dedicated junior high coaches Ryan Brown and Susan Rome. Their collective experience and commitment are pivotal as they work together to rebuild and strengthen the program. As the Blue Devils prepare for their season opener, the community eagerly anticipates the journey ahead. Coach Meek’s vision and leadership promise to usher in a new era of Lisbon Girls Basketball.
