College Heights senior Ethan Meeks signed his letter of intent to play basketball at Southeast Missouri Prep on Friday.
Meeks, who was also considering Calvary University and Westminster College, decided to attend Southeast Missouri Prep because the coaches are giving him an opportunity to continue playing the game of basketball, where he will be a power forward.
“It gives me another chance to play the sport I love,” Meeks said to SoMo Sports. “And I get a chance to get better every day with great coaches and great people around me.”
As Meeks concludes his career as a student-athlete with College Heights, he was quick to point out that he is thankful for everything and everyone at CHC.
“I want to thank all of the people, my coaches and parents, who helped me get to this point,” Meeks said. “Along with all of the coaches believing in me and giving me this opportunity, I want to thank God for giving me the ability to do this and the situation He put me in and all of the people He has put in my life.”
The 6-foot-7 Meeks averaged 10 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game as a senior. Meeks made 56 percent of his field goal attempts this past winter for the Cougars, who went 24-5 and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Class 2 state tournament.
