For the first time this season, the offense sputtered for the NRHEG football team.

It led to a 14-0 loss at Martin County West Friday night.

“We gave up a big kick return to our 35-yard line to start the game and they scored on that opening drive,” said Panthers coach Dan Stork. “Other than that, our defense came up with some big plays when we needed to. Our offense struggled tonight. We are very banged up right now and our lack of depth is taking its toll.”

The loss dropped NRHEG to 2-2 overall and 2-1 in the Gopher Conference AA division. The Mavericks improved to 3-1 and 2-1.

It was a defensive battle most of the night. After MCW’s first touchdown, there was no scoring until the Mavericks put a touchdown on the board with 2:54 remaining on a 62-yard run.

The Panthers moved the ball, punting only four times, but they turned the ball over on downs four times and threw three interceptions. They were also penalized 10 times for 60 yards.

For the game, MCW outgained NRHEG 319-282 in total yards.

Sam Lundberg and Casey Rosacker combined to go 15-for-37 passing for 155 yards. David Lassahn caught five passes for 85 yards.

Jake Staloch, who rushed for 201 yards the previous week, led the Panthers on the ground with 84 yards on 16 carries.

Lassahn led the defense with nine tackles and two interceptions.

The Panthers host LCWM for homecoming this Friday.
