To The Editor, Murray County citizens, businesses, and organizations currently have a great opportunity to support their local food shelves. The Murray Masonic Lodge in Slayton is conducting a fund drive to benefit Food Shelves in Slayton and Fulda. Nothing will be subtracted for expenses. All funds collected will go to Slayton and Fulda Food Shelves. All money will go to feed needy families in our area. Your contribution to help hungry families will realize two times the benefit with this drive! This is a great opportunity to make a major difference!

MCC would look to snap a two game skid as they traveled to Ellsworth on Thursday night for a Red Rock Conference showdown. Adrian/Ellsworth came into the game with a 2-6 record with wins over WWG and HLOF. MCC entered the contest with a 6-7 mark.

The MCC Rebels were back at home on Friday for their third game of the week. The Rebels had split their first two games, losing to Lakeview and then beating RRC. The Rebels defense has been strong this season but the ups and downs on offense have cost them several games this season. Friday would fall into that category for MCC as the Wolverines would avenge a loss to the Rebels from earlier this year.

Can a big win turn around a season? That is the question the MCC Rebel Girls will get a chance to answer over the next week or two. The Rebels came into Tuesday’s game at Hills Beaver Creek with a couple of frustrating losses in the last week to Lakeview and MLAC, when the Rebels had chances to climb to 500 on the season. With those two chances going by the wayside and three games in the week against teams with winning records, the Rebels needed to step up and they did just that.

The Rebels traveled to Lamberton Monday night to face the 8-6 Falcons. Red Rock had won 6 out of 7 games coming into the contest. MCC would come into the game with a .500 record at 7-7, coming off a win against Adrian/Ellsworth.
