There are certain games that football teams look forward to. Last Friday was one of them for the NRHEG Panthers.

The Panthers, in the midst of one of their best seasons in years, avenged an ugly loss last year, defeating Lake Crystal/Wellcome Memorial 24-6 on the road.

“Our kids have had this game circled on the schedule since last year,” said Panthers coach Dan Stork.

The win lifted the Panthers to 6-1, with the regular season concluding tonight at home against Maple River (6-1). The Panthers are hoping for a win and a WEM loss to claim a share of the South Central Blue District championship.

The Panthers controlled the action at Lake Crystal, outgaining the home team 310-224 and again making the big plays when it counted while owning the line of scrimmage.

“Once again our offensive and defensive line controlled the game,” said Stork.

Jason Jongbloedt and Perry Peterson continued to run the ball well, gaining 122 and 83 yards, respectively.

“We are building steam for a playoff run, but first and foremost we can't wait to play Maple River,” said Stork.
