The "traveling duck" has landed at Midwest Central. Midwest Central beat IC last night to take possession of it. It will be roosting at Midwest Central until next basketball season when we play Havana.

In a typical Mason County battle on the hardwood, the Raiders came out of top 45-38 on Tuesday night over Illini Central in Manito.   The Cougars raced out to a 12-3 lead after 1 quarter. But the Raiders roared back to take a 22-16 lead at the half. Using stifling defense throughout by the Proehl boys on the IC sharpshooter, the Raiders limited him to only 13 points on the game. Once again, Jaxson Robinson came off the bench  like his pants were on fire to drop some corner 3s and lead the team with 13 points on the night. Malachi Carroll chipped in 9 points, Joe Proehl had 8, and Josh Dawe went 4-4 on free throws down the stretch as the Raiders sealed the deal in front of a raucous crowd of cheering Raider fans.   With the win, the Raiders moved to 4-4 on the season and sit atop the Tomahawk Conference with a record of 2-0.   The Raiders also captured the traveling Duck trophy as the current Kings of Mason County Basketball!

Raiders hosted Pekin Tuesday night. With a nail biter of a meet, the Dragons just squeezed away scoring 36 to the Raiders 33. Kaci Eller, Bocephus Schnoor and Kaiden Hill helped the team with wins tonight. Liam Zimmerman put up a match with a win by pin. John Payne battled his way to earn a victory by pin! Kamden Merrill added another win by pin to his undefeated season. Carson Johnson added his first ever wrestling win with a pin! He followed with another victory by a pin! The Raiders are now 2-3 for the season. This weekend they travel to Jacksonville for a tournament. “The crowd was electric tonight!! Thank you to all who came out to support us!” - Coach Augi

The Raider Closet has grown into so much more than a physical space—it’s become a movement. A heartbeat for connection.

Through this closet, families, peers, community members, organizations, and staff have come together in the most meaningful ways. With every shopping adventure, smiles are shared, laughs are had, and moments of hope and relief are found. Fit checks are made, confidence is built, and community is strengthened.

None of this would be possible without the generous financial support of others. A special thank you to Manito Masonic for your continued commitment to our mission. Darrell Byrd Jr. and his incredible crew have helped countless families, and we are truly grateful for your ongoing support.
