The MCC Indians Booster Club and the MCC athletic department are pleased to announce the families who are participating in the Adopt-An-Athlete program this year. These local families provide the student/athletes with the opportunity to become more easily adjusted to the community of McCook, which will help them perform better in the classroom and in their sports. The families invite the student/athletes to their homes for an occasional meal when the cafeteria is closed. This program offers a great chance for the families to meet some of the student/athletes at the college and show them a family environment here in the great town of McCook.
We would like to recognize these families and thank them for participating in this exciting program.

In his second season, Greer coached the Lady Indians to a school record 34 wins, the first winning season the Lady Indians have had since 2008 and second in school history. During that 2014 season, Greer led MCC to their first NCCAC Conference Title, leading him to be named NCCAC Coach of the Year as well as Region IX Coach of the Year for the second straight season. The Lady Indians offense was Top 25 in the country in six different categories; including sixth in triples with 22 as a team. Among all the accolades of their record season, six players were named to the NCCAC All-Conference Team, three named All-Region team, a Region IX Freshman of the Year Award, a Co-Offensive Player of the Year Award, as well as a Marruci Elite Hitter Award. With all the achievements of the 2014 season, the Lady Indians were fourth in the country in Team GPA (3.51) and had three Academic All-Americans.
During his time at MCC, Greer’s squads have set numerous school records, including 66 homeruns during the 2013 season which was good for 8th in the nation.

Head Coach Coach Greer has been pleased with the progress he’s seen in the program since taking over in the summer of 2012, “With the help of the community and some very dedicated student-athletes, we’ve been able to get this program going in the right direction. We are not where we’d like to be but we’re heading in the right direction and seeing success in a variety of areas which makes me happy for our girls. They handle themselves with respect in the classroom, on the field, and in the community. And for that I am proud to be the coach of the Lady Indians softball team.”
Greer received a Bachelor of Science in Business Economics at Eastern Oregon University and his Master of Science in Sports Management: Intercollegiate Athletic Administration from California University of Pennsylvania.

Coach Bashor enters her first season as the Lady Indians pitching coach after completing her career with MCC last Spring. During her time at McCook CC, Bashor earned several awards; including Dean’s List (Four Times), Academic All-Region (Twice), and finished her sophomore year as an Academic All-American.
“We’re very excited about having Rachel come join our coaching staff,” said Coach Greer. “She was a captain for us and understands our expectations here at MCC. Since she lived and exceeded those expectations she’s been a great resource for our kids to use about how to represent McCook Softball. Even in her short time as the Pitching Coach, she’s made a considerable impact on our young pitchers. We couldn’t be happier about Rachel being the person to help shape our pitching staff.”
Bashor was excited about being a part of the coaching staff, though it was unexpected. “I never in a millions years had the intention of going on to play at the college level. But sometimes, well most of the time, life doesn’t go the way you planned. Having the opportunity to come back to MCC to coach has definitely changed my life, for the better of course. I’m so anxious to see how the season goes for us. We have a ton of talent and these girls are extremely coachable which makes my job so easy and enjoyable! So, although I never saw this as an option in my life, I could not be more excited to see what the future holds Rachel Bashor with the MCC Softball Program.” Pitching Coach MCC INDIANS BOOSTERS “ATHLETES OF THE YEAR” AWARDS Shelby Baertsch Tony Dobbinson
