To Union varsity basketball coach, Rudy Garcia’s delight, three of the players on the 8th grade Red team are over 6’3,” Carson Meier, Ben Kramer and Jeffery Mead.
The team is as rich in talent as it is in height. Four of the boys on this team also play on a local AAU squad, the Tulsa Wildcats, Meier, Mead, Bain Wannemacher and Alex Barton.
