To The Editor, Murray County citizens, businesses, and organizations currently have a great opportunity to support their local food shelves.

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.
