Four-straight sectional titles for Batesville boys basketball started in 1994 and Alan Meyer was a catalyst for such a dynasty, becoming an instrumental figure for the Bulldogs including that 1994 season when he was named EIAC MVP, All-County, All-Sectional, and All-Regional.

Meyer scored 404 points and averaged 16.2 points per game during a senior season that saw Batesville march all the way to the semi-state as part of the single-class state tournament. The Bulldogs beat Jac-Cen-Del in the sectional championship and then beat New Castle and host Connersville to capture the regional title. Alan scored 31 points in the New Castle game, just one less than his career-high of 32 points which was scored earlier that year against Greensburg. Batesville fell the following weekend to Ben Davis in the first game of the semi-state but not before Meyer would win the Semi-State Dunk Contest, an annual affair in the latter days of single-class competition. His senior year would finish with a nod as a Hoosier Basketball Coaches All-Star, All-State Honorable Mention selection, and leading the state in field goal percentage.

Alan’s 624 career points rank him 37th on the boys’ basketball scoring list at Batesville. He was also an All-EIAC selection his junior season in 1993 and scored 218 points that year while shooting nearly 60 percent from the floor. He had a then career-high of 19 points against Triton Central. Away from basketball, Meyer was EIAC and Team MVP his senior year on the baseball team and was a member of the Indiana North/South All-Star Game, participating for the South. He was an All-Conference football selection in the fall and set a school record for touchdown receptions in a season with 7.

Meyer would go on to attend both Indiana State University and Wabash College. He and his wife Lana currently live in Batesville where he works as a Tooling Specialist with Hill-Rom. He has two stepsons, Chance and Justin.
