“Staloch did a great job of reading blocks,” said Stork.
Senior quarterback Sam Lundberg completed four of his six passes for 114 yards, which included a 20-yard touchdown to David Lassahn, another senior who had a huge game. Lassahn totaled four touchdowns, two rushing and another on a 42-yard interception return on which he made a great read on the play.
Dillon Parpart, a sophomore middle linebacker, led a strong, balanced defensive effort.
“Defensively, we are really finding our groove,” said Stork. “These guys continue to improve each and every day.”
GFW rushed 41 ties for 94 yards. They were 8-for-17 passing for 43 yards.
The Panthers led 16-0 after one quarter on touchdown runs by Lassahn and Staloch and a safety when a GFW snap sailed over the punter’s head and out of the end zone.
The Panthers ran wild in the second quarter as Staloch scored from 31 yards out and busted down the left side 74 yards for a score. Lassahn also scored twice and NRHEG led 42-9 at halftime.
Lassahn, Staloch, Brendon Arnold and Matt Carlson scored in the third quarter.
“It was fun,” said Stork. “A lot of guys got to play and contribute.”
Stork isn’t sure where the 73 points ranks in school history, but he said it’s been at least since the late 1980s that a New Richland team scored that many.
The Panthers travel to Martin County West (2-1) this Friday.
“They have a good team,” said Stork. “They have a new coaching staff this year. It will be a good test for us.”
