By DALE KUGATH Sportswriter It is often harder to repeat a championship than it is to win the first one. The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva girls’ basketball team ruined that theory with four double-digit wins on its way to a second straight Section 2AA championship. The Panthers had their toughest game of the tournament with a 10-point win over Hayfield for the sub-section title. NRHEG overwhelmed St. Peter to earn another trip to state in the section final. The Panthers also defeated SP for a trip to state a year ago. NRHEG will take a 27-game winning streak and a 29-1 overall record to state. Hayfield MANKATO – NRHEG overcame a horrible shooting night to break a tie with four minutes remaining to post a 58-48 win over Hayfield in the sub-section championship game March 6.

By DALE KUGATH Sportswriter ADAMS – The Southland Rebels went on a 23-5 scoring run the final seven minutes of the game to ruin the New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva boys’ basketball team’s upset hopes in the South Sub-Section 2AA opener March 4. The second-seeded Rebels pulled away to post a 57-33 triumph over the seventh-seeded Panthers. Coach Pat Churchill’s Panthers lost 11 of their final 13 games to finish the year with a 6-19 record, three wins fewer than last year’s 9-18 mark. Southland moved into the sub-section semifinals with a 20-7 record. “It is always tough when you are done for the year,” said Churchill. “I thought for 28 minutes our kids played a heck of a ball game.”
