8th grade math had a guest teacher today when "Mr. A.” taught Scientific Notation Operations for part of class. He may have a future as a teacher! Mrs. Keaschall was impressed.
The Raiders 7th grade basketball team jumped out to a 15-2 lead after the first quarter and never looked back, defeating the Hartem Stags 46-28! The Raiders had 8 players in the scoring column, with Max Dierker's 13 points and Blake Molitor's 12 points leading the way! The Raiders also had great production from their guards, with 8 points out of Joe Proehl and 6 points from Owen Kolves! However, it was the Raiders defense that stole the show, suffocating the Stags offense by only allowing 8 total first half points! The Raiders move to 1-1 on the young season and look to keep things going against Lincoln next Saturday to finish off the Tip Off Classic!
In 8th grade action the Raiders used stifling defense and balanced scoring to upend the Stags with a 50-21 victory! Every Raiders player scored, with Ryan Terril’s 13 points leading the team. Josh Dawe popped in a couple of of first half 3s and a 2 to finish with 8 points and Brenden Carton (6 points) , JJ Proehl (5 points) and Zayne Hill (5 points) all had multiple buckets in the winning effort! Defense was the difference as the Raiders held the Stags to 9 points in the second half, including NO points in the 3rd quarter. The win puts the 8th graders at an undefeated 2-0 as they advance to the championship game on Saturday against Lincoln!
It was a great night to be a Lady Raider! The 7th grade team played a nail biter game that ended on a last second shot made by Cally for a 18-16 win against Rankin! Leading scorers were Kara and Kenzie with 6 points each.
The 8th grade won 39-18. Eliza had a big night scoring with 23 points. Addi shot well scoring 8 and Emma contributed 4. Amelia did a nice job making multiple assists to help her team!

The Raiders basketball team kicked off their season opener with the start of the Raiders own Tip - Off Classic on Saturday morning against Delavan! In 7th grade action, the boys battled hard in what was for most was their junior high debut, but clutch free throw shooting from the Panthers ultimately led to Raiders defeat at the hands of Delavan, 33 - 25. Blake Molitor led the 7th grade Raiders with 12 points. The Raiders look to rebound from Saturday's tough contest with a game against Hartem on Monday.
In 8th grade action, a big fourth quarter from Brenden Carton helped the Raiders overcome a 7 point deficit to defeat the Panthers 32 - 29! The big man had 9 points on the day, with 7 of them coming in a monster fourth quarter to put the Raiders over the top! Malachi Carrol also had a huge game for the victors, leading the way with 12 big points in the winning effort! The win puts the Raiders at 1 - 0 as they look to continue to protect their home court with their second Tip - Off Classic game against Hartem on Monday!
Wishing all of Raider Nation a safe and very HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Dear Raider Parents and Guardians,
The safety and security of our students has been, and continues to be, a top priority at Midwest Central CUSD #191. We have worked diligently over the past few years to improve our protocols and procedures, harden facilities, increase communications with stakeholders and strengthen our partnership with law enforcement.
In order for our safety efforts to be truly successful, we need your help. Please talk to your child about the importance of alerting law enforcement or district administration immediately about any threats of violence or safety concerns at school.
One easy way to report safety concerns is through the state’s new confidential reporting platform, Safe2Help Illinois, which is staffed 24/7 by trained help line professionals. When someone reports an urgent threat through this platform, phone calls are immediately made to a District level team who then notify specific school officials and develop a plan of action. A Safe2Help button is located on the front page of our website, www.MidwestCentral.org, and will direct you to a site providing you several options for making reports.
Over the past month, there have been instances of rumors and misinformation spreading amongst students or on social media before it was reported to school officials or authorities. In these instances information was reported days or weeks after the triggering incident. What transpired as a result was damaging information being shared publicly and doubts being cast that the district is not addressing the situation.
I assure you Midwest Central CUSD #191 will always take any threat or safety concern seriously. For instance, each situation that has occurred over the past month has been investigated and determined to not be credible. If a threat ever is credible, I promise you would hear directly about the incident from us.
To close, we have wonderful students, caring staff and supportive families in our communities. Let’s all work together and keep the lines of communication open.
Thank you for your patience and support,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
Join our team!
