The Raiders baseball team rode dominant pitching and some timely hitting to a 5-0 shutout victory over Athens to advance to the regional championship!
Ryan was lights out on Saturday morning, picking up the win by throwing a complete game shutout and allowing only 2 hits and 2 walks while striking out 15 Warrior batters!
The game was scoreless for the first four and a half innings until the Raiders bats got going in the bottom of the 5th on an RBI single by Grant followed by a huge RBI double by JJ! The Raiders then tacked on 3 more in the next inning on an RBI single by Zayne and a 2 RBI double by Joe!
With this win, the Raiders advance to the Regional Championship against Tremont!
The baseball team will compete in the regional game today! It will be played in GV at 10:00 AM.
Good luck Raiders!
MCMS is super excited to host the IESA 2A Baseball Regionals on Saturday, Sept 17th, at Lohnes Fields in Green Valley. With the potential of 4 teams being present at one time, parking space needs to be organized. Our fans know that the grass lot by the baseball diamond usually has no rhyme or reason for parking. Because of this, parking spaces will be painted on the grass for this weekend. Since MCMS plays the first game at 10:00 AM, we ask that Raider fans please use these designated parking spots to show the visiting teams where to park. If both lots fill up early, overflow parking will be at the school. Thanks for your help with this!
Mid term progress reports will go home today.
Mrs. Keaschall's Team Time students had a lot of fun talking about "toothpaste" words today. Before discussing words that are hard to take back, they tried to get a tube of toothpaste put back into the tube. Just like hateful words, it's hard to put back!
The softball team will travel to Illini Bluffs to compete in the Regional Championship game. Game time is 4:30 PM.
Good Luck Lady Raiders!!!
In their regular season finale, the Raiders baseball team scored 3 in the 2nd inning and that's all they would need to hold off West Lincoln Broadwell on their 8th grade night 3-2!

The Raiders finished off their regular season at 12-4 and await the winner of Athens and Dee Mack for the regional matchup on Saturday. Coach Roberts wants to thank all the players and fans for a fun season!
