Could Meadowdale be a serious D-I player?
For the past few seasons, it’s been difficult to get a lot of attention in the Dayton City League if you’re not Dunbar or Marshall.
Meadowdale, meanwhile, has been playing scrappy defense, making just enough shots and winning plenty of games.
Now, consider what the Lions have done to start this season. Granted, they’re 0-2, but they lost by four points to Dunbar, which many believe is ready to again challenge for a D-II state championship, and lost by five points to Marshall tonight at Marshall.
Now, consider this: Meadowdale has played those tough games without its best player, senior Marquece Simmons, who broke a foot in the final preseason scrimmage. I asked coach Felix Turner about Simmons in the locker room after the game tonight, and Simmons walked in looking very frustrated. Turner said the loss was a major hit to the Lions, who finished 13-10 last season.
Instead, Meadowdale is led by junior Richard Weaver, who had 15 points against Marshall. Junior Jaquill King added 15 more points for the Lions, who don’t have a senior in the starting lineup without Simmons.
If Simmons comes back healthy and Meadowdale continues to play the type of frenetic game it showed against the Cougars, could we be seeing a team ready to make a serious challenge in the tournament?
It’s early in the season, of course, but Meadowdale has become a team to watch.

Meadowdale is not serious. They want play the best player Donye Smith. He is the truth.
