8th grade nights are always so special to recognize our athletes who have put the work in to better themselves and to celebrate them moving onto High School to continue their student-athlete abilities. Our Lady Raiders completed the sweep of Peoria Christian in eventually convincing fashion.
The 7th grade game started out to be a thriller as the Raiders held a slim 1-point lead going into the locker room at halftime. Everything started to click in the 2nd half as these ladies outscored the Chargers by 20 points in the 2nd half to clinch a 37-16 victory. Peyton led this squad with 9 points, 9 rebounds and 3 steals while Sophia moved the ball well to pick up 4 assists. Nora had another solid night with 8 points, Zoey with some nice moves in the post adding 7, and Izzy, Tenley, Lydia & Kallie each added 2. The 7th grade squad moves to 17-2 with one game left in the regular season.
The eighth graders traded their pre-game princess crowns for a basketball uniform and went to work for their last basketball game in Green Valley. The Lady Raiders won every quarter in this game which led to a 33-16 win over Peoria Christian. Charlie had a big night leading the Raiders with 12 points and 4 assists, while Julia was an animal on the boards pulling down 9 rebounds. Nora J, Ayla & Charlie were the thieves of the night as each collected 3 steals to make life miserable on the Chargers. Kenzie added 10 points on only one good ankle, Nora J added 6, Julie with 3, and Peyton rounded out the scoring with 2. This win moves their record to 11-8.
The Lady Raiders travel to Chillicothe for their final game before regionals on Thursday evening at 5:00 PM! Good luck ladies!
Goooooo Lady Raiders!
It was a special evening as we had the privilege of presenting the MCMS Boys Basketball and Baseball teams with their 2024 STATE BANNERS! We are SO proud of these athletes.

Let's go Raiders!!
The 7th grade Lady Raiders moved to 16-2 in a dominating victory at VIT on Monday evening. Peyton and Nora shared scoring honors with 8 points each while the Raiders scored the first 28 points in the game which led to a 35-7 victory! Kynlie and Nora grabbed a team leading 6 rebounds on a night where the Raiders completely controlled the glass, out-rebounding the Rebels 31-9. Tenley had her best game of the year with 6 points, 3 steals and a team leading 3 assists. Sophia added four points; Lydia, Kallie, Zoey & Sage each added two, while Kynlie added one to round out the scoring.
The 8th grade game proved to be a low-scoring thriller as the girls squeaked out an 18-16 victory to complete the sweep. The Lady Raiders trailed by one going into halftime but they had no problem taking the lead back as Peyton knocked down a mid-range jumper early in the 3rd quarter. Sophia came off the bench with a hot hand to swish two 3-point shots to eventually seal the game for the Raiders. Julia had a big night with 8 rebounds to go with an excellent defensive effort to keep VIT's big girl under control, who had most of their points. Peyton led the Raiders with 8 points, Sophia chipped in 6, while Ayla and Julia each added two! Charlie continued to be a nuisance on defense, collecting three of the team's 8 steals.
