Mulhern making moves for MCC

When MCC Athletic Director Dan Dunn took a leave of absence earlier this semester to focus on his duties as head football coach, assistant AD John Mulhern was given the reigns as head of the athletic department.

Another record for Rashaud

It seems hard to believe that MCC track sensation Rashaud Scott has any records left to break. Feb. 24 though, proved to be another record-setting day for the Kentucky-bound hurler.

Not one Tucson enemy could pass by without a birrage of demeaning insults from the ASU faithful. Though the Sun Devils did fall short in their bid for the upset, and even though I didn’t get to fufill my dream of...
