It’s a Puzzle Smiling, I dove in the direction of my daughter. “Hey, look what they were giving out at church! It’s a piece of a jig-saw puzzle with a little pin attached! You are supposed to give these out and tell others what an important piece of the puzzle they are in life! I got a pile of em! Isn’t this a great idea? Want some?” She, puzzled about this style of connecting, was not impressed.

The MCC Rebels played their first game since December 17th on Monday night. The Rebels played a makeup game with Windom Area a game that was scheduled for Friday, December 10th but was postponed because of snow. The Rebels played without their top scorer on the season Emily Rohrer and the lack of punch on the low post hurt the Rebels but turnovers would cost the Rebels another game.

The MCC Rebels played their second game of the new year Tuesday night in Pipestone. The Rebels have been struggling with turnovers and shooting all season long but going to Pipestone they were facing a team who like the Rebels would be missing their leading scorer on the season. MCC was without their top scorer on the season as well but the size wasn’t going to play a big factor in the game as both teams were without their top low post players. MCC would play a tough game at their best in some time but it wouldn’t be enough.
