The Raiders took care of business with two convincing wins on Saturday in Knoxville. In the JV game, the dominance began at the tipoff as the team jumped out to a 45-13 at half. Zayne Arthalony led the way with 13 points and 4 steals as all 11 players made it in the scoring column. With the 69-17 victory, the JV squad moves to 12-4 on the season. In the varsity game, the Raiders must have raced out to a 40-20 halftime lead over the Blue Bullets. Brenden Carton delivered again from deep with 21 points, Malachi Carroll had 15 points and Josh Dawe had 12 points as the Boys in Black dominate 72-43. The Raiders are now 13-10 on the season and head to Delavan on Tuesday night for a battle for the Tomahawk trophy at 6:30.

A huge thank you to Chad Lamberson and his family at Precision Power Source for their incredible support of our students at Midwest Central High School!

Their generous donation of welding equipment—including gloves, helmets, and jackets—will make a real difference for students pursuing skilled trades and career-ready pathways.

Pictured with Mrs. Harbourn are two of our talented students, Nathaniel and Jack, who are currently enrolled in the ICC Early College Welding Program. Upon completing the program, they’ll earn a welding certificate through Illinois Central College—and thanks to this donation, they’ll have top-notch equipment to kickstart their careers or continue their education.

We are so grateful for the ongoing support of our students across all pathways. Your generosity helps them achieve their goals and prepares them for a bright future!
