"Until I am Back in the Saddle again, may your Trails be Happy and all your Water be Cool"

 

RIP Louis, I always appreciated your tag line!

Well put. Now Louis will have Happy Trails and his water will always be cool. I talked with Louis many times and there could have been a more humble man on earth. He certainly knew his basketball too. He will be sorely missed.

From all the fans of a great man who truly loved this sport, your fight with cancer is now over, and you now have truly won! Keep us all a spot close to God's home court Louis.

I had so much respect for this man. There has not been a greater proponent for female student athletes in this state. Louis was a passionate person when it came to girls basketball. You could see it on his face as he watched the games and feel it when you read his newsletters. I also respect him for the way he faced cancer and did his best to still type a few lines about an event or player and forward a note from a coach. I join with all the other girls players, coaches, and fans in saying may he rest in peace and hope the Lord has a bleacher ready for him to continue to watch the game he loved from above. Thank you Louis. You will be missed. :cry:

Thoughts and prayers coming from the BigZig family. Certainly a very huge loss.

We read a tribute to Mr. Meadows and had a moment of silence tonight...hope others did the same.

Louis Ryan Meadows
