MLEC hosts basketball halftime event to support local senior classes
(February 13, 2026) — Meriwether Lewis showed its support for local high school senior classes by hosting a basketball halftime relay called “Every Shot Matters.” The competition came to East Hickman Middle School Monday night where East Hickman High School student Chandler Crowell faced off against Lewis County High School student Caiden Miller to see who could make a layup, free throw and 3-pointer first. Crowell finished the relay first earning a $500 donation to the class of 2026. Lewis County received $250 for participating in the event.
