The NRHEG baseball team does not have much experience at the varsity level this spring, and it showed in the season opener.

The Panthers hosted United South Central and lost 8-1 at New Richland’s Legion Field last Thursday.

USC, one of the Gopher Conference favorites, jumped on top early with three runs in the first inning and two more in the third.

The NRHEG High School golf teams opened the 2014 season at Riverview Golf Course last Thursday, hosting a triangular with Bethlehem Academy and Hayfield.

The Panther girls won both matches against incomplete squads, totaling 239 strokes for nine holes. Scoring for NRHEG: Kyra Possin 58, Jessica Nafe 59, Tali Wayne 60, Lauren Herrmann 81. Hayfield’s Sam Dahlen was the medalist at 50.

The NRHEG boys had 211 strokes to 177 for BA and 182 for Hayfield. NRHEG scoring: Kelson Titus 52, Jake Langlie 53, Macoy Schwierjohann 53, Cole Lenort 53, Luke Herrmann 61, Spencer Engen 65. The medalist was Sam Olive of Hayfield with a 43.

On April 25th and 26th, the Minnesota Girls Basketball Coaches Association will host the 2014 All-Star Series at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. The top 40 senior girl players from Minnesota will put on a display of skill, athleticism and class. There will be two games played showcasing these phenomenal athletes one last time before they move on to play college basketball.  After one of the best state tournaments we’ve seen in years, there will be a lot of great players putting on encore performances.
