WARRIOR WRESTLERS COMPETED AT STATE MEET

The Minnesota State Wrestling tournament held at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul is truly an experience for the wrestling spectator, and the wrestlers themselves.

BUZZER-BEATER SHOT ADVANCES REBELS IN PLAYOFFS

In a rematch of a seven point win for TMB in the regular season, the Sub-Section 3A South first round game did not disappoint as the #4 seeded Panthers took on the #5 seeded Murray County Central Rebels in an instant classic. The nerves were notable for the Rebels to start the game as indecision turned into fundamentally unsound play and odd turnovers, which led to TMB getting the first bucket of the game.

F/MCC WRESTLERS HAVE BUSY WEEK OF COMPETITION

The FMCC Warriors had a very busy week with a Quad in Ortonville, a Tri in Luverne, and a 13 team tournament in Lamberton. In Ortonville, the Warriors took on the Border West Buccaneers, Sisseton, and Ortonville. In Luverne they had the TMB Panthers, and the Luverne Cardinals.

WRESTLERS FACE NEW COMPETITION IN OWATONNA

The Fulda/Murray County Central Warriors traveled to Owatonna in lieu of the Tri-Valley Wrestling tournament which got canceled due to weather. Owatonna is a different direction for the Warriors, and they got to see some new competition.

REBELS FALL TO MLAC AT HOME

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.

REBEL BOYS OPEN PLAYOFFS AGAINST HBC PATRIOTS

GIRLS TRACK TEAM PERFORMS WELL AT STATE MEET

At the start of the 2022 track season, many athletes set goals of making the state meet. Although track implemented a third class for the first time this year, it had little effect on the smaller schools, as the AA schools were broken down into two classes. Class A (which MCC is a part of) remains the largest class in the state comprising of 192 teams. Each individual event has the possibility of 576 student athletes vying for one of the sixteen state qualifying spots. MCC had three girls (Brylei Schreier - 400, Ashley Overgaauw - 800, Amanda Overgaauw - 3200) that had earned one of those spots. That trio was joined by Sophia Nelson for the 4x800 relay to give the team a total of four events participating in the 2022 State Track and Field meet.

GIRLS SOFTBALL CELEBRATES END OF SEASON

The Murray County Central Softball Banquet was held on June 1, 2022. In the first year under new head coach Elissa Wieneke, the team finished the season with a final record of 9-9 (7-3 in the conference) and were Red Rock Conference Runners-Up. Assistant Coaches for the Rebels were Joe Larson, Joel Herrig, and McKenzie DeLong. Congratulations to all letter and award winners. Special congratulations to MCC Senior, Sophie Larson, who was chosen to play in the MN State Senior All Star Game in Mankato on June 12th.
