The MCC Rebels played their 4th game in 5 days on Tuesday night and to top it off they played one of the hottest teams in Class A basketball in the state. The Tracy Milroy Balaton Panthers on Monday night beat Central Minnesota Christian for the Camden Conference Title. The Panthers are 21-2 on the season heading into the game against the Rebels who were looking for the biggest upset in school history. That wouldn’t happen.

The MCC Rebel Girls opened their week at home on Monday night facing the Hills Beaver Creek Patriots. The Patriots beat the Rebels soundly earlier this season on the road in a game in which the Rebels had more turnovers than points scored. MCC would not repeat the performance on Monday night and though the Rebels did some things better the outcome was still the same. The Patriots would pick up another win in the Red Rock Conference.

Monday, February 21: No School - Presidents’ Day. Tuesday, February 22: Breakfast: Toasted Bagel w/ Jelly, Assorted Fruit & Juice Choices, Milk.

The MCC Rebel Girls traveled to Marshall on Saturday morning for an 11:00 am showdown with one of the top teams in the Camden Conference the Lac Qui Parle Valley Eagles. The Rebels entered the game with just 1 win on the season and were riding a 17 game losing streak. The Eagles had 17 wins on the season and a four-game winning streak. The Rebels were the heavy underdogs in this game and the Eagles were not going to allow the Rebels to make a game of it.

The MCC Rebels played one of their best halves of basketball this season in Lamberton against the Red Rock Central Falcons. That night the Rebels played a strong first half but struggled in the second half when they got sped up. Friday night going fast wasn’t an issue for either team as both teams would take their time on offense for different reasons. The Falcons were missing Karli Arkel inside which took away one of their top rebounders who could help trigger the fastbreak. The Rebels took more time than usual to get the ball inside against the now smaller Falcons.

On Thursday February 10th our mighty Warriors stayed home in Fulda to take on the Dawson/Boyd/ La-qui-parle/Motevideo United and the Windom Cobras. The Warriors didn’t fair so well in either dual but did experience some success. The United wrestling team would be first on the docket and this team is composed of some powerhouse football schools probably because of their excellent wrestling program as these kids are always physical on the football field.
