The Golden Aces Wrestlers commenced their season with a significant victory in their home dual against the Oblong Panthers. In a thrilling conclusion, the Aces found themselves trailing by four team points, with senior Aaron Sanor stepping onto the mat for the final match. Demonstrating remarkable resilience, Sanor overcame the odds to pin Oblong's Owen Griffin, clinching the victory for the Aces. The team's determination was evident in their performance, and they are set to compete in a multi-dual at Vincennes on Saturday, November 30. Best of luck to the Aces!

There have been a couple of changes to the MCHS winter sports schedules.
The Girl's Basketball season opening game against Carmi has been moved. The new date will be 2/5/25 at 6:00pm.
The Fresh/Soph Boys Basketball Team added a tournament in Princeton on 1/11 and had their game against Carmi moved from 2/5/25 to 1/15/25.
Revised 11/1/24
Revised 11/1/24
The Lady Aces Volleyball team traveled to Carmi Thursday night for the regional final.
Carmi had a very aggressive attack game, but Mt. Carmel played good defense, making Carmi earn it. After some very long Volleys, the Lady Bulldogs took the win with set scores of 17-25, 16-25. It was a fun game to watch, as Mt. Carmel fought hard to the very end. The two seniors for Mt. Carmel Sarah McCorkle and Madi Stevens kept the momentum going. Madi was able to put up 9 kills against a solid Carmi defense and had 11 digs. Sarah had an ace, 7 digs, and 13 assists. These two girls will be greatly missed by the program with Madi being a 4 year varsity starter and Sarah a 3 year. They have both contributed tremendously. Sarah was able to reach the 1000 career assists ending the season with 1192 assists. Madi had a career of total of 697 kills. Excellent job to both of them.
Stats for the rest of the team include Jayla Johnson 9 digs, 1 kill, Maycee Randall, 1 dig, 2 block kills, 3 kills, Kyleigh Smith 1 kill, Lyla Keepes, 6 digs, 1 kill, Tenley Davis 8 digs.
The team had a successful winning season with a conference record of 6-1 and
final record of 20-16. The coaches all agree it was a very fun and fast season.
Comments by assistant coach Bonnie Keepes
The Lady Aces traveled to Carmi for the first game of the 2A regional. Mt. Carmel faced Hamilton County and took the match on 2 sets. The Aces led the whole first set, but the foxes narrowed the gap at the end. The final set score was 25-19. The second set the Foxes gave it their best shot to keep their season alive. The score was close point for point play with the Aces losing their lead at 18-19. The Foxes had match point with the serve, but missed their serve and opened the window for the Aces. Lyla Keepes served the last two points and Madi Stevens got the kill, and also reached a double, double with 12 digs and 12 kills.
Stats, Sarah McCorkle, 2 aces, 8 digs, 3 block kills, 3 kills, 21 assists, Madi Stevens 12 digs, 12 kills Jayla Johnson 1 ace, 10 digs, 3 kills, Maycee Randall, 4 digs, 1 block kills, 3 kills, Kyleigh Smith 3 aces, 7 digs, 1 kills, Lyla Keepes, 1 ace, 10 digs, 1 kill, Tenley Davis 27 digs, 1 ace.
The Aces will be back at Carmi to face Carmi for the Regional title Thursday at 6. Carmi will be good competition coming off a top 4 finish in the state last year.
The win tonight put head coach Syreeta Willis at 20 wins for the third consecutive season with the program.
