As a new era begins in the world of STLCC athletics, an old page is turned toward a new chapter. The written history of Meramec athletics puts on a new face—from green and gold to navy blue and silver, from Magic to the Archers, from Meramec to St. Louis Community College.
For the previous student-athlete record holder, their dream season will live on forever as a ‘Once upon a time’ tale when rivalry mattered and bragging rights were an enjoyable part of playing for each campus.
The coach whose ‘family’ grew by the hundreds over the course of their career and led their ‘family’ toward an ultimate goal, only to have their Magic taken away from them, has learned just as much from their ‘kids’ as they have taught them.
The administrator and secretary who worked countless hours to make sure that their ‘family’ was given the love and support that was needed during times of slumps and times of cheer have lost some ‘family’ members.
Meramec athletics will never be forgotten. That should be remembered. The blood, sweat and tears that were left out on the field make for great stories to be told for STLCC athletes to come. Those stories begin when Meramec had Magic.
Today is a new chapter.
