The NRHEG sixth-grade girls’ basketball team competed in the MYAS grade school tournament at Bloomington, MN on March 5 and 6th. They didn't know what to expect as they went from class 1A last year, which they won in some very close matches, but was moved up to class 4A this year. It is a pool of 16 teams, all from large schools.

On Saturday, they beat an excellent Winona team by the score of 34-26. They then went on to defeat Hopkins 37-15. Sunday they faced a great shooting team from White Bear Lake and pulled out a victory  40-35. They then met up with a fast team from Prior Lake in the championship game. It was quite a battle, but NRHEG was victorious by the score of 31-26.
