Episode Details

Today, I'm joined by three key members of Meridian High School's 2025 state championship team: senior center back Aiden Bakewell, freshman forward Zach Miller, and senior forward Fletcher Saaty. We talk about what it’s like playing for Northern Virginia’s “small-town” school and the keys behind the Mustangs’ second state title in three years. Our conversation touches on their standout coach, Nathan Grenier, the impact of their teammates, and the toughest challenges they faced throughout the season. It was a pleasure catching up with three outstanding players to celebrate an incredible accomplishment.
