The latest starting fall sport is underway and the NRHEG team is poised to make it an exciting and competition season.

The team had its first shoot on Wednesday, Sept. 24 at the Owatonna Gun Club. The team did very well and find themselves in the second spot in the conference, just 8 1/2 points behind the team from Hermantown which, in clay target shooting, is virtually a tie.

If you take a gander at the statistics, you wonder how the NRHEG football team lost its home opener to Maple River last Friday.

Until you get to the turnovers.

The Panthers had four of them while falling 13-0 to the unbeaten Eagles.

“We continue to step on our own foot,” said Panthers coach Dan Stork. “We are simply making way too many mistakes.”

The Panthers dominated time of possession, having the ball for 31:08 to 16:52 for the Eagles. They also outgained Maple River and led  14-11 in first downs.

The NRHEG High School cross country teams hosted their lone home meet of the season, the Panther Invitational, at Riverview Golf Course Thursday, Sept. 18.

The boys scored 134 points for sixth place, defeating Austin Pacelli and Madelia-Truman. Mankato Loyola won with 44.

Panther places and times: Tyler Schlaak, 20th, 19:15; Josh Fleming, 25th, 19:35; Brenden McMann, 37th, 20:22; Zach Mely, 40th, 20:33; Ben Lewer, 49th, 21:08; Aaron Seath, 72nd, 23:29; Orin Mely, 80th, 26:19.
