The MCC Rebel Volleyball team completed its 2024 regular season on Monday night in Adrian. The Rebels faced off against the Dragons as two teams tied for fourth place in the Red Rock Conference. Not only were the two teams tied in the conference, but with similar records it made sense that the winner of the game would not only take over fourth place in the conference, the winner would likely be the 5th seed in the subsection tournament, with the loser becoming the 6th seed. The Rebels would come out on fire in set 1 but it would be the Dragons taking the win.

The MCC Rebel Football team wrapped up their regular season on Tuesday night in Wabasso. The Rebels were looking for their sixth win of the season, while Wabasso wanted to get a win to put themselves, they hoped, into the Section 3A tournament. The Rebels came out ready to play and would dominate the game from the first whistle to the last. MCC opened the game with the football and Carson Lewis returned the opening kick nearly seventy yards to put the Rebels in great field position. The drive wouldn’t last long, as MCC scored on a Teague Meyer five yard touchdown run. With the extra point going to Andrew Holm, the Rebels took the lead 8-0. After offsetting penaties on the first kickoff following the score, the Rebels kicked the ball down the sideline and it was recovered by Caleb Rosenbrook of the Rebels. MCC scored a couple plays later on an Andrew Holm 16 yard touchdown run and with the extra point, the Rebels led 15-0 with 8:30 remaining in the first quarter. Just over two minutes later, Carson Lewis scored again on a 12 yard run and with the extra point, the Rebels led 22-0 with 6:05 still to play in the first quarter. The Rebels would score another touchdown in the first quarter, on a Gavin Gillette 29 yard run. Engelkes got the extra point, making the score 29-0.
