The NRHEG girls' high school basketball team breezed past Maple River 75-47 in the opening round of the sub-section tournament last Tuesday.
“Our girls were very focused,” NRHEG coach Onika Peterson said after the game. “We rebounded and ran the floor well.”
The game was competitive for about the first 10 minutes of play. Junior Faith Nielsen ignited the rally when she scored six straight points for the Panthers, who went on a 7-0 run. They quickly stretched the lead into double digits and took a 19-point lead into intermission.
Eight Panthers scored in the contest, with three finishing in double figures.

In front of a large audience of about 50 friends, family, and coaches, NRHEG High School senior Brady Schlaak signed his official Letter of Intent to play Division III football and continue his education at the College of Saint Scholastica in Duluth on Tuesday, Feb. 28.
“I’m excited and scared at the same time,” Schlaak said of the decision. “It’s gonna be a huge change. I’m not going up against high school seniors and freshmen. Now it’s college seniors, as a freshman… But, I feel like I can definitely make a huge impact.”
The recruitment process started after Schlaak, 6’ 10’’ 300 lbs, posted a highlight reel on the social media site Twitter.
