Monday was supposed to be a home game for the NRHEG High School softball team.
Instead, thanks to several inches of water covering New Richland's Legion Field, the Panthers traveled to Mapleton, where they dropped a 7-2 decision to Maple River.
"Unfortunately, this was not a well played game on our part," said Panthers coach Wendy Schultz. "Defensively, we were flat. Offensively, we didn't hit well either. We played flat. Hopefully, we can bounce back and get to playing well."

The NRHEG High School base- ball team set the tone in the top of the first inning at Maple River Monday, May 15.
It never changed.
The Panthers plated five runs in their first at-bat en route to an 8-1 Gopher Conference victory in Mapleton.
Andrew Phillips led off with a walk and, after stealing second and third base, scored on a Daxter Lee infield single. The bats kept rolling from there.

The Gopher Conference championship was not in the cards for the 2023 NRHEG girls' track and field team.
But, boy was it close.
The Panthers finished second by an eye- lash in Monday's conference meet at USC in Wells, totaling 106.33 points to JWP's 108. Ten schools competed.
"So close," said NRHEG coach Duey Ferber. "We made a run at JWP, but fell less than two points short. It was a total team effort." Evelyn Nydegger took two firsts, winning the 100-meter high hurdles in 17.04 seconds and the 300 intermediate hurdles in 49.04. Quinn VanMaldeghem was also a double winner, taking the 1600 in 5:32.82 and the 800 with a time of 2:23.25. Nydegger, Keira Lenort, Sierra Misgen and VanMaldedgem won the 4x400 relay in 4:29.29. All four girls earned all-conference honors, as did Lauren Cromwell, who placed second in the discus at 113 feet.
