“I’m just grateful,” Meek said. “When I got the call, a swarm of emotions swept across me. I’ve got kids that I coached here (at the induction) from six decades. I’m grateful for family, for the assistant coaches I had, and for the kind of kids I had. I just happened to be the name attached to it. It’s a result of so many people … it’s very humbling.”
