What’s better than going to the state tournament?
How about going two years in a row?
That’s what the NRHEG girls’ basketball team is doing after Carlie Wagner and company — behind a large and loud fan following — dismantled St. Peter 96-61 for the Section 2AA championship at Minnesota State-Mankato Friday night.
The Panthers, third in last year’s state tournament behind a record-setting performance by Wagner, will face Section 8AA champion Pelican Rapids at 8 p.m. Wednesday at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. Rated No. 2 in the state in Class AA, the Panthers take a 29-1 record and 27-game winning streak to state.
The Panthers and coach John Schultz weren’t thinking about that on Friday, though. They, along with much of the NRHEG community, simply celebrated the moment and soaked it all in.

NRHEG School Board
By REED WALLER
Staff Writer
Staff and faculty members involved in the school’s PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) initiative spoke before the school board at last Monday’s regular meeting, expressing concern over behavior problems on the school buses, particularly the shuttle buses.
“An unstructured situation presents the most problems,” one representative explained.
They expressed approval of the district’s placing of security cameras in the school buses, but pointed out that this was not enough. The cameras make it possible to monitor bad behavior, but it’s after the fact, and PBIS is about promoting positive behavior on the spot. They believed it would be helpful to have paraprofessionals on board as supervisors.
