The final tally makes it look like a lop-sided game, but it truly was closer than the score indicates as the NRHEG High School football team succumbed to Minnesota Valley Lutheran 34-12 at New Ulm Saturday night.
"It was much closer than the scores shows," said NRHEG coach Marc Kruger. "It was a 1-2 possession game most of the night."
The Panthers, 0-3, took their first lead of the season when they drove for an opening-possession touchdown, which came on a 7-yard run by quarterback Alden Dobberstein. A two-point conversion try tailed.
Minnesota Valley Lutheran answered with a pair of first-quarter touchdowns. After a scoreless second period, NRHEG trailed 14-6 at halftime.
MVL made it 21-6 in the third quarter, with the Panthers answering with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Dobberstein to Sam Olson. Again, a two-point conversion try was stopped.
MVL tacked on touchdowns in the third and fourth quarter.
