Last Saturday our Raiders competed in the Midwest Technical Institute (MTI) welding contest along with 70 students from around the State. WTG Josh for placing 9th!!
All students who competed earned a $500 dollar MTI scholarship; in addition, they earned various raffle prizes. The students received new welding gear, including helmets, gloves, and jackets.
We are so proud of you Josh and Dereka! Way to represent MCHS!!!
We are so grateful that our local Rotary chapter, Manito-Forest City 6460, was able to fund 5 interact members to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy in Lake Williamson this past weekend.
Interact Clubs are service clubs for young people aged 12-18, sponsored by local Rotary clubs, that aim to empower students to take action in their communities, develop leadership skills, and foster international understanding. What is Rotary? Rotary Clubs are global service organizations focused on promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water and sanitation, supporting education, and growing local economies. They achieve this through local and international service projects, community engagement, and fostering goodwill.
These Raiders were able to interact with students from all over west central Illinois to learn more about Rotary.
THANK YOU Manito-Forest City 6460!!

Midwest Central Raiders Top Christian Life Academy 15–9 in Saturday Slugfest
The Midwest Central Raiders brought the heat Saturday, taking down Christian Life Academy 15–9 in a high-energy matchup that showcased the team’s offensive firepower and depth on the mound.
The Raiders scored in five of six innings, keeping constant pressure on their opponent and racking up seven stolen bases in the process.
The Raiders upperclassmen came up big. Collin Price reached base four times. Dalton Johnson went 2-for-4 with two doubles, and Rex Watts delivered a clutch 3-for-5 day that also included two doubles. Six different Raiders notched RBIs in the balanced attack.
On the mound, Johnson picked up the win, tossing five innings with five strikeouts and just one walk. Watts closed it out, earning the save with two solid innings and a pair of strikeouts.
It was a full-team effort and a statement win for the Raiders as they continue to build momentum this season.

Student Council sponsored a Rock, Paper, Scissors battle today at MCHS. At the end of the day we had a play off between those who had the most beads. In the end Cally beat Mr. Murphy and chose the Roasted gift card as her prize.
Lady Raiders put up a win last night, taking victory at home against the New Berlin Pretzels with a final score of 6-2. Lexi Wood earned the win for the Raiders, pitching 7 innings in the circle with Emma Junkin staying strong behind the plate. Junkin was clutch at the plate with 2 RBIs, alongside Grace Meeks and Mia Warner collecting an RBI each. Lady Raiders defense didn't commit a single error throughout the game, and Ava Warner made the most plays with eight. Meeks had a team high of 3 hits, and Addison Friedrich had a pivotal throw out at home from centerfield. It was a team effort. Great job Raiders, and we look forward to an away game against Williamsville on Thursday!
