Today is the end of our 3rd 9 weeks!
Scholastic bowl took a tough loss after leading most of the meet last night. Team captain Symphani Tuck lead by answering 6 toss ups. Hadley Miles answered 2 keeping the Raiders in the lead. They held on until the very end when DeeMack pulled ahead. Come watch our brilliance shine Tuesday, March 17 at 4 when our Raiders take on Rankin at home.
🏐 Congratulations to the Midwest Central 8th Grade Volleyball team on winning the Regional Championship last night!
The Raiders defeated rival Illini Bluffs once again, in a dominant 2-0 sweep (25-18, 25-9), improving their record to an outstanding 26-1 on the season and advancing to the Sectional round.
From start to finish, these girls played as a true team… with trust, heart, and composure that never wavered.
The Raiders will face Mossville in Sectional play on Monday at 6:00 PM at Peoria Christian. Come out and support our girls as they continue their run! 🏆

26-1 is an incredible record — what a season these girls are having! 🙌
