Midwest Central Middle School - Home of the Raiders

The Raiders basketball teams stayed hot on a cold night as they picked up a pair of wins at South Fulton on Tuesday night!

In seventh grade action the Raiders more than doubled up the score on the Rebels, using a big first half to come away with a 38-11 win. Evan Kolves had a huge night for the Raiders with 14 points, and Carson Campbell and Ethan Brotherton both added a couple of buckets!

The 8th graders completed the sweep to move their record to 11-2! Jase Canada (16 points) and Jaxton Bolen (17 points) led the scoring charge for the Raiders, who also got a nice game out of Eli Tumilty who added 6 points and Cael Zaayenga, who also got a big steal and bucket for the victors!

This week's 6th grade student spotlight is Evan Meeker! Evan is a phenomenal student and peer. Evan is consistently kind and respectful, treating her classmates and teachers with genuine consideration. She contributes positively to the learning environment by listening attentively and supporting others. Her positive attitude and courteous behavior makes her a role model inside and outside of the classroom. Great job Evan for walking the Raider Path!

Open Gym for Volleyball has been cancelled today.
