The Cannon Falls baseball squad is gearing up for a pivotal Class 2A state quarterfinal clash against Winona Cotter, a matchup that feels like a family reunion as much as a sporting contest.
At the heart of the team is Keith Meyers, a veteran who first shone as a top pitcher for Cannon Falls during their 1997 state tournament run and has since moved into a coaching role that now includes guiding his sons Jack and Tyler, as well as his nephew Grady.
A Multi‑Generational Push
Longtime head coach Bucky Lindow, who has steered the program for three decades, provides the steady backdrop that allows the Meyers dynasty to flourish, blending tradition with fresh talent.
What sets this year’s club apart is its depth on the mound; three experienced pitchers return, giving the team a rotation that opponents have struggled to crack.
Beyond statistics, the Meyers family emphasizes growth off the field, teaching lessons in discipline, resilience and teamwork that echo through the locker room.
The camaraderie extends to the broader community, with local supporters rallying around a program that has become a cornerstone of Cannon Falls identity.
