It could not have been a better homecoming week for the NRHEG High School volleyball team.
The Panthers played well and won twice, outlasting Hayfield 3-1 on the Vikings' court Tuesday, and shutting out JWP 3-0 at New Richland two nights later.
NRHEG dispatched Hayfield 25-23, 23-25, 25-20, 25-22 on what coach Ashley Tolzman called a very special night.
"Hayfield was having a Mental Health Awareness Week," said Tolzman. "Both NRHEG and Hayfield warmed up in the same mental health shirts and listened to a great speaker with a great message. Hayfield's team also wrote each and every player a kind note and left it on our bench before we started our game. I think this was such a positive experience and am thankful we were able to be part of this. Thank you Coach Kruger!"

After starting the season 0-4, the NRHEG High School football team has fashioned a short victory streak.
The Panthers, who overwhelmed Medford 34-0 the previous week, made it two in a row with a 22-0 shutout of arch-rival Waterville-Elysian-Morristown in NRHEG's homecoming game in New Richland Friday, Oct. 6.
"We won on homecoming and took down our rival," said Panthers coach Marc Kruger. "I am very proud of this team."
And, for the second week in a row, Kruger said, "We played great in all phases."
But the defense was especially impressive, holding the Buccaneers to 95 total yards and limiting them to 35 rushing yards.
"On defense we really flew around and made big plays," said Kruger. "Jace Ihrke, Zander Flatness, and Carter Martens really were tough up the middle."
And the NRHEG offense took care of business, putting six points on the board in the opening quarter on the first of three touchdown passes by Alden Dobberstein, this one from 2 yards out to George Roesler.
It was 6-0 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Dobberstein threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jackson Chrz, who ran for the two-point conversion.
Dobberstein tosses a 22-yard touchdown pass to Carter Flatland in the fourth period. Raab again ran for the conversion.
Dobberstein, a junior, had another strong all around game with 62 yards rushing and 65 passing, going 5-for-10 with one interception. Flatland caught two passes for 37 yards, Roesler two for 23.
