Eastern Washington basketball adds high-scoring guard Mike Meadows

Eastern Washington men’s basketball has added a high-scoring guard from Southern California, coach Shantay Legans announced Tuesday.

Mike Meadows averaged 24 points, five rebounds and five assists at Campbell Hall School in Studio City, where he was a four-time all-conference selection.

“Mike is a tremendous addition to our Eastern family and will make a huge impact for years to come,” Legans said. “His basketball ability combined with his commitment to the classroom will make him fit in perfectly with the kind of culture we are building.”

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Meadows led Campbell Hall to the quarterfinals of the CIF Division 2AA Southern Section playoffs.

Earlier in the season, he helped his team win the Burbank Tournament with a 5-0 record. Meadows scored 22 points in a 57-50 victory over Westlake for the title, and was selected to the all-tournament team.

While at Campbell Hall, Meadows had an accumulative 3.2 grade-point average. He is interested in pursuing business at EWU, and his volunteer service has included working at youth basketball camps.

Campbell is Eastern’s fourth signee this year.

In November, the Eagles signed guard Elijah Jackson from Seattle’s Chief Sealth High.

Last month, EWU added power forward Ralueke Orizu from Savannah State and another guard, Austin Fadal from Arizona.

Last week, Eagles forward Brendan Howard transferred to Montana State Billings.
