Mira Costa turns to Meeker twins, surfer and

Surfer dudes. Football dudes.

That’s the best manner to describe similar twins Liam and Luke Meeker, soccer gamers at Mira Costa High.

Liam is the quarterback and Luke the receiver. They’ve been teaming up their complete life.

“Twin telepathy,” they joke.

Their father, George, who was a member of Edison’s surf staff during his high college days, taught them to surf when they have been 9. Luke claims to be the best, but it’s soccer where they’re making their presence felt.

Both are 6 toes 2 and 200 kilos. Liam can throw and run. Luke might be bodily and protecting of his brother. They’re loyal and best pals.

“He’s a great quarterback,” Luke said.

“I know where he is on the field,” Liam said.

With Mira Costa returning eight starters on protection and key talent place gamers such as the Meekers and standout working back AJ McBean, the Mustangs have a likelihood to be aggressive in a robust Bay League that also has Palos Verdes, Inglewood, Leuzinger, Culver City and Lawndale.

Coach Don Morrow, in his thirty third season, likes the togetherness of his gamers. There’s good leaders, like linebacker/long snapper Jackson Reach, who’s been a standout since his sophomore season.

On Wednesday afternoon, it was a nice 77 levels, with drums, flutes and cymbals being heard around the Manhattan Beach campus as band members practiced. Cheerleaders also labored on their routines. Then soccer gamers took the sector to continue preparation for an Aug. 29 opener against St. Francis.

Afterward, anybody might take a stroll to the seashore and surf. The Meekers have been spending summers in Australia, where their mom was born and raised on a farm. They’ve gotten stronger with all the chores they do each summer season.

When it comes to browsing, they know the lingo and the enjoyable.

They’re “stoked” for the soccer season forward.
