MC bites me
The High School Boys Basketball Team fought hard against StewartsvilleOsborn for the Osborn Tournament on Monday, January 12th, 2026. Their hard work showed in a brutal fight against the Wildcards with a score of 6231. Junior Cooper Wachtel said, “It went well, we only had five people, and for only having that many people we did well.” Cooper’s best moment from Monday night's game was “having effort, and that the team did pretty well.” “It went well, I thought we did well for only having five guys,” says Sophomore Gage Hartman. Hartman’s best moment from Monday night's game was when he pulled up at short corner and splashed it, and walked back to his spot in the 2-2 half-court zone. Coach Matthews said, “The boys actually did pretty well, and the score doesn’t indicate how well we played the 2nd quarter at like a 8 point game, we were even within 11 points in the 3rd quarter, we competed well for only having five guys this week, and I didn’t have any complaints about their effort." The boys played on January 14th with a score of 62-44, and they play again tonight for the Osborn Tournament. After that, they have a home game on Tuesday, January 20, against Rock Port. Come out and support our Basketball boys and cheer them on.
