NRHEG Board of Education

By REED WALLER

Staff Writer

Discussion was heavy at NRHEG’s March board meeting Monday, March 17, as members considered some complicated issues.

The issue of school hours for last Wednesday’s Girls Basketball Tournament opener was dealt with quickly. It was approved to make March 19 a non-student day. Employees were required to work, attend the game in supervisory capacity, or take the day off.

iPads vs 2-in-1

Currently the district has a blend of iPad 1’s and 2’s at both locations. The plan is to have iPad 2’s in grades 1-9, and have a cart of 30 for Kindergarten use. The iPad 1’s could be passed to the band department, and repurposed as music display devices, cutting down the need for sheet music and books.

The NRHEG girls' baskball team did it again.

The Panthers succeeded in defending their Minnesota Class AA girls' basketball title with a 71-61 victory over Kenyon-Wanamingo Saturday at Williams Arena in Minneapolis.

Senior Carlie Wagner scored 36 record-setting points and her ninth-grade twin sisters added 16 more; 9 for Maddie and 7 for Marnie. All three made the all-tournament team and, for the third year in a row, Carlie broke several records. Paige Overgaard scored eight points Saturday, Jade Schultz seven, Hannah Lundberg four.

Wagner, Panthers break records in state opener

NRHEG's Carlie Wagner goes to the hoop for two of her single-game state tournament record 53 points during the Panthers' 100-68 victory over Pequot Lakes in the opening round of the Minnesota State Girls' Basketball Tournament Wednesday at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis. Wagner broke her own state record set last year. The Panthers' 100 points are also a tournament record — breaking the old mark set in 1984 — and the two teams' 168 points were a record. The Panthers advanced to face Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted in the semifinals Friday at 6 p.m. at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. Also pictured above: the Panthers' Jade Schultz and Pequot Lakes' Katie White (22) and Vanessa Lane (11). If the Panthers win Friday, they'll play for the state championship Saturday at 2 p.m. at Williams Arena. If they lose Friday, they play for third place Saturday at noon at Concordia University in St. Paul. (Star Eagle photo by Jim Lutgens)

Panthers return to state finals

NRHEG senior guard Carlie Wagner further established herself in the state girls’ basketball record book.

Her 41 points in Friday night's state semifinal 87-58 victory solidified her mark as the top scoring player in state tournament history. She has scored 335 points so far in this tournament and that surpasses the 329 points that Janet Karvonen of New York Mills scored in four consecutive tournaments from 1977 through 1980. Wagner began her tournament scoring spree in the 2012 state tournament.

The Ellendale City Council held a public hearing Thursday, March 13 at 6:30 p.m., prior to its regular meeting. Mayor Swearingen and all council members were present along with approximately 20 concerned citizens. 

Eric Hefner, engineer with Bolten & Menk, started the hearing by giving everyone an overview of the proposed street project. The project would include work on 2nd St. from 6th Ave.- 8th Ave., 5th St. from 5th Ave. – 7th Ave., 4th St. from 6th Ave. – 8th Ave., and a portion of 7th Ave. that was torn up due to a water main break this year.
