The MCC Rebel Girls Basketball team was on the road Thursday night to take on the Adrian Ellsworth Dragons. The game was held in Ellsworth, where the Rebels have played the Dragons in the last several years. The Rebels were hoping to get a win and pull their record to 5-5 on the season. The Dragons were not going to let that happen easily and their defense set the tone.

MCC looked to improve on their conference record as they hosted the Edgerton Flying Dutchmen Friday night. The game would feature an experienced Dutchmen team and a roller coaster type game that would see both teams go on big runs.

The Rebels had a quick turnaround, as they traveled to Tracy for an early afternoon tip Saturday against a tough and explosive Panther ball club. This would surely be a tight game and it did not disappoint, even though there were stretches that made you think otherwise.

The F/MCC Warriors had an excellent week with two home triangulars. One in Fulda and the other in Slayton, as well as a youth team tournament on Saturday.
