In our hearts forever

Tristan Wentz & Dylan Krum

The Lehighton community mourns the loss of these two young men who so bravely battled cancer.  

Congratualations to Meredith Sellix and Ben Millen, the 2009 Hunter Meckes Scholarship recipients.  These 2009 Lehighton High School graduates started their soccer careers with the Lehighton Area Soccer Club and both went on to be 4 year members of the high school soccer teams. 

Each recipient received a $500 scholarship toward their college tuition. Meredith will be attending Elmira College in the fall and Ben will be attending Temple University.  We wish Meredith & Ben well in their studies!

Funding for the Hunter Meckes Scholarship is provided by proceeds from the annual Hunter Meckes Memorial Soccer Tournament and the Lehighton Area Soccer Club.

The scholarships were presented to Meredith and Ben by Hunter's mom, Sherry, and his brother, Shane, at the Lehighton High School awards ceremony.
