The MCC Basketball teams will be heading into their holiday break over the next few days. One of the reasons athletes play sports at MCC is to try and bridge that gap between high school and collegiate sports. When the teams are successful, like the recent Volleyball season where the Tigers went 34 and 5 or the Mens Soccer program goes to nationals and finishes sixth in the country, it not only helps recruit more athletes to Marshalltown, but it helps those athletes move onward and upward.
