2022-2023 Registration It’s that time of year again! During the first week of January 31-February 4 students in grade 7-11 will be attending Registration Meetings to get information for their next year’s class schedule. Students will be given registration sheets which MUST be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to their AP teacher by February 14.

The MCC Rebels opened the week at home against the Westbrook Walnut Grove Chargers. The Chargers entered the game with a six and nine record and have had to deal with a key injury to their roster. The Chargers are also one of the smallest and youngest teams in the Red Rock Conference. The combination gave the Rebels some hope to pull off an upset especially at home. The Rebels would have some moments on Tuesday night but they didn’t have the consistency to get the win.

The Murray County Central Rebel Girls were on the road Friday night in Adrian. The Rebels were taking on the Dragons for the first time this season and we’re looking for their first conference win of the year. Adrian Ellsworth has also struggled this season coming into the game on Friday with just two wins compared to the Rebels 1. The Rebels would fall behind early but they would close the gap late it just wouldn’t be enough.

Warriors sweep home quadrangular against Madelia, St. James, and Ortonville on Thursday January 20. Although these teams had some missing weights the Warriors did not and they were able to bring home the wins. The FMCC Warriors club is making leaps and bounds as they travel through this season showing quality wrestling.

We are approaching an important time for our students and staff as they will be taking the MCA tests shortly. Our district is evaluated and compared to all other schools based on our test scores each year. MCC Schools has a strong tradition of excellent scores and ranks very high in the state of Minnesota. I encourage you to stress to your student how important it is to do their best on these tests. In addition to working hard on the practice tests, students should get a good night’s rest and eat a healthy breakfast for best results. Thank you in advance for your support and assistance in educating your child. It truly does take a village to raise our children. Please check out our website for additional tips for study skills and homework help. I have included 10 Ways to help your child be successful during testing season.

The FMCC Warriors had another busy week with a triangular in Springfield against Springfield and the Adrian Dragons. There was much anticipation going into the Tri for another chance at Adrian but the Dragons would be a bit too much as the Warriors lost at some of the earlier weights where they had wins before.

The C-squad was off to a good start against RTR in Tyler Tuesday night, but couldn’t sustain that level of play against a strong RTR squad. Going down 24-14 at halftime and eventually falling 49-25. Hudson Schryvers led the Rebels with 8 points, Dawson Schreier had 5, Andrew Holm 4 and Gavin Gillette had 4, and Dylan Kluis had 3, and Carson Englekes had 1.

Tuesday was a good night for basketball as the 7 and 8th grade both won against TMB and the C, B, and A teams all earned wins over HLOF. The C-team would earn a 40- 28 win being very aggressive on offense as the team put up 53 shots throughout the game.
