Confirming rumors that have swirled since before this year’s state tournament, John Schultz made it official last week.
He’s resigning as New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva head girls’ basketball coach.
It was a difficult decision for Schultz, who guided the Panthers to three straight state tournament appearances and a second consecutive state championship in March, but, after much consultation with family members, he felt it was the right thing to do.
“It’s a family decision,” he said. “It certainly has nothing to do with talent. People may think that with the senior class graduating, I’m bailing.”
But that’s not the case.

By now, most of you have heard about the “Blood Red Moon” that occurred around 2 a.m. last Tuesday, the 15th. It’s been all over the media, generating headlines like “Blood moon a sign of the end times?” and “Blood moon: Lunar eclipse or sign of dire consequences?” Further popularized by several books claiming that the “blood moon” signifies the end is coming, the Rapture and Apocalypse will take place, Jesus will return to earth, and “traumatic, world-changing things will happen to Israel” before September of 2015, this (and the three to come) total lunar eclipse has caused much speculation and debate.
