Great to see the Midwest Central Middle School Marching Band in the Popcorn Festival Parade!
The MCMS cross country team continues to post faster times as the season rolls on: Isabelle Friedrich and Nora Dierker ran close to a 16:15 two mile, while Jaina Butler ran the distance in 16 minutes flat. Sam Dierker ran a very respectable 15:15 and Connor Coile fought hard to post a 14:45 two mile time. Great job Raiders!! Catch several members of the team running the Popcorn Festival 5K this weekend!
This weekend is the Manito Popcorn Festival! The Middle School marching band will be participating in the parade tomorrow. Please cheer on our awesome band members on if you are at the parade! Enjoy your 3 day weekend! Remember, no school on Monday!
Then boys baseball team moved to 7-4 on the season with a big 4-0 shutout of Dee-Mack Thursday night!
Zayne Arthalony continued the Raiders strong pitching performances this season with a gem of his own. The 8th grade right hander tossed a complete game scattering only 3 hits and striking out 10!
The defense flashed some leather behind Arthalony as well, committing no errors on the afternoon with a couple web gems by Joe Proehl and Jaxon Tumilty on the infield!
Offensively the Raiders only had 5 hits but they made them count with a big 3rd inning behind a double by Proehl, a triple by Arthalony and a couple big RBIs by Tumilty and Colten Watts!
The Raiders next games come against Norwood and Hollis on the road early next week.
Mrs. Dean's class worked together to build the tallest tower with paper. We learned that it took everyone to be active participants in order to be successful.

Our 8th grade recognition night for our softball players is also tonight.
Come out and cheer our Raiders on!

Midwest Central Lady Raiders were triumphant over Rankin 7-3 on Monday.
Midwest Central Lady Raiders opened the scoring in the top of the first when an error scored one run.
The Raiders extended their early lead with two runs in the top of the second thanks to RBI ground outs by Mia and Mckenzie. Leadoff hitter Katie led Midwest Central Lady Raiders with three hits in four at bats. Ayla and Mckenzie each drove in two runs for the team.
Sophia stepped in the circle first for Midwest Central Lady Raiders. The starting pitcher surrendered four hits and three runs over seven innings, striking out five and walking three.
Katie caught a line drive and tagged third for a double play that ended the game.

The boys baseball team bounced back from a tough loss Monday night to defeat the Broadmoor Bruins 4-1 Tuesday night in a rain shortened affair! Max Dierker was dealing on the mound with the tall, lanky right hander striking out 3 while scattering 5 hits and only 1 walk in the complete game win! Zayne Arthalony was 2-3 with a triple and 2 runs. Jaxon Tumilty picked up a hit and 2 RBI’s and Bo Schnoor delivered a huge RBI single late in the game for the Raiders!
With the win the Raiders move to 6-4 and look to keep things rolling with a home matchup on Thursday vs Dee Mack.
