Midwest Central jumped out to a scorching 18-1 first quarter lead and never looked back, putting 5 guys in the scoring column en route to their 19th victory in 23 tries.

Mason Crockett had a big game for the Raiders, playing some lock down defense to go along with his 8 points. Jaxton Bolen had a game high 16 and Easton Roger’s added 9 points!

Reminder - No school Monday

Not all wins are pretty as the Raiders 8th grade team overcame a slow start to down PORTA 33-25 in ugly fashion to move to a very pretty 18-4! Jaxton Bolen continued his strong season with a team high 16 points, and Jase Canada added 11. Mason Crockett chipped in with 4 big points and Sam Dierker rounded out the scoring with a bucket of his own.

The Raiders look to keep things going strong with a road matchup at Tremont on Thursday!

MCMS Volleyball Game Recap vs. Olympia | Monday, January 12

Midwest Central Middle School volleyball turned in a strong night against Olympia, with both the 7th and 8th grade teams earning wins.

The 7th grade team opened the evening with a 2–0 victory, setting the tone with steady serving and balanced contributions throughout the match. The 7th Grade Raiders recorded 11 service aces on 45 serves, using consistent pressure and teamwork to control both sets.

The 8th grade Raiders followed with a resilient 2–1 win in a competitive three-set match. After a close second-set loss, the team responded with focus and toughness in the deciding set. Midwest Central 8th Grade finished with 17 service aces and just 4 service errors, while the defense stepped up with several strong defensive blocks, helping stop Olympia’s momentum and secure the win.

It was a complete team effort from start to finish, for all teams, reflecting the growth, composures, and competitive culture this program continues to build. Way to go Raiders!
