The MCC Rebels and the HBC Patriots squared off in Slayton on Tuesday night in a Red Rock Conference Girls basketball showdown. Both teams were coming in off wins in their first conference games of the season. The Patriots scored 50 points in the second half in a win over Edgerton Public while the Rebels pulled away for a 12 point win over Adrian Ellsworth. The two teams are about as opposite as it gets. The Patriots are long and fast while the Rebels are stronger and more physical on the court. The Rebels are an older team with 3 seniors starting and another 3 coming in off the bench while the Patriots were led in scoring by a junior and an 8th grader. It would be an interesting game that in the end would be decided by the little things.

The Murray County Central Rebel boys opened their season this past Friday night in Sleepy Eye. The Rebels have been part of the Tip Off Classic for years and it has allowed them to get a good look at where they were to open the season. Friday night the Rebels opened with the Knights of Sleepy Eye St Marys. The Rebels got to the gym later than they had hoped due to the weather and had a shorter time than normal to warm up. It wasn’t the perfect way to open a season but the Rebels would battle through and would compete with a very good team unfortunately in a losing effort.

So many people today have such agitated minds. They are fearful, doubtful, they cannot sleep, worry overwhelms them; pills, pills, and more pills, and still, they have no peace. A British psychiatrist who had devoted his entire adult life to the suffering of the mind, said to the British Medical Association many years ago, “I would state that of all the hygienic measures to counteract disturbed sleep, depression of the spirits, and all the miserable sequels of a disturbed mind, I would undoubtedly give first place to the simple habit of prayer.” Scripture tells us, “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever.” (Isaiah 26:3-4). Jesus tells those who follow Him in John 14:27 that His peace is available to all of us whenever we need it. The apostle Paul tells us in Phil. 4: “Rejoice in the Lord always.
