With a total of 80+ attendees over the past two weeks this was our biggest turnout ever!
Both camps were full of technique and fundamentals along with a lot of fun and team building. The future of the Midwest Central Wrestling family keeps growing!
Great job putting in the hard work athletes, we’ll see you when the season starts!
Today was the last day of cross country camp. Hill day is probably the roughest day they had. Proud of the effort you all put in the last 2 weeks. Keep up the good work. Topped it off with our stop at Casey’s.

The Raiders boys basketball program wrapped up a productive month of basketball camp, workouts, and games with a team cookout hosted by J.D. and Nancy Proehl. The boys swam and played in a 3 on 3 tournament which was won by Dakota Collins, Evan Schmidt, and Joe Proehl.
During the month of June, the varsity and JV teams played in the Farmington Summer League and at Shootouts in Jacksonville and Mason City. Although improvement as players and a team are the goals for the summer, wins and losses always count. The Varsity Raiders went 6-6-1 against tough competition such as Brown County, Liberty, Kewanee, and Peoria Christian. The JV team finished the summer 7-3 and were the champions at Farmington League with an undefeated 6-0 record.
The boys have worked very hard and will continue to push each other to succeed and have big goals for the upcoming season. Way to go Raiders!
