Gary Meek

Gary Meek was one of the great Santa Ana College linebackers from 1967 to 1968.  After starring for the Dons for two seasons, Meek earned a scholarship to San Diego State University where he helped the Aztecs win the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference championship in 1969.

That same year, the Aztecs also won the Pasadena Bowl 28-7 against Boston College to complete their 12-0 undefeated season. Meek finished his career as an Aztec with a 20-2 record.  When his playing days were over, he began coaching and teaching at Mater Dei High School until making the move to Esperanza High School in 1976 where he launched a hall of fame coaching career, winning two CIF championships and seven league championships with a record of 154-50-2.

Meek also served as the Athletic Director at Esperanza from 2003-2010 and was named Southern California Athletic Director of the Year in 2005. He was inducted into the California High School Football Hall of Fame in 2006.

Gary has been married to his wife Sharon for 50 years and has two daughters and a son who also played football and is currently coaching at Santa Ana College.

Unfortunately, Gary has suffered some severe health issues since 2018.  

The following Go-Fund-Me page (see link below) has been established. 

More details concerning his health challenges are included on this site (it's extensive what he's been through)!

 I'm sure any size donation would be gratefully accepted!

In addition, there are lots of photos that have been posted by classmates, including many from our very successful 50th Reunion weekend.
