MCMS was surprised to see the Grinch today!
The Raiders 7th grade team swept a pair of games Thursday night, overcoming a slow first half to cruise to a 45-25 victory over the Delavan Panthers to keep their undefeated season alive!
Leading by just 2 at halftime, the Raiders used a big third quarter from Remi Arthalony, who had all of his 7 points in the third quarter, to put the game out of reach. Jase Canada led the charge with 16 points, with Sam Dierker added 6 points and Jaxton Bolen adding 5 points for the undefeated Raiders.
Game 2 was all Midwest Central, with the Raiders crushing the Panthers 33-2! Cael Zaayenga and Grayson Piro led the charge with 8 points with 5 other Raiders reaching the scoring column in the team effort.
The boys look to recharge over Christmas break with a few weeks off before taking on West Lincoln Broadwell on January 6!

The 8th grade ELA finished a first person narrative essay and gingerbread project. Students had to pick person that represents them. The essay included traits, actions/likes, feelings/thoughts and a conclusion. Students created a gingerbread person that they wrote about in their essay! Great job, 8th graders!
