Head coach Dan Stork had one word to sum up NRHEG’s Homecoming football game: heartbreaking.
The Panthers led arch-rival Waterville-Elysian-Morristown for almost all but 27 seconds of the game while falling 21-20 at New Richland Friday, Septl. 26.
“It was a heartbreaking loss for our guys,” said Stork, whose team fell to 0-3 in the conference and 1-4 overall.
For the second week in a row the Panthers outgained their opponents and, for a change, they played mistake-free football with no turnovers.
But it wasn’t enough on this night.
The Panthers led 7-0 after the first quarter on a 5-yard touchdown run by Trey Hoppe.
