Is Annabelle Petsinger ready for the second-ever Minnesota State High School League girls' wrestling state tournament?

It sure looks like it.

The NRHEG boys' basketball team played a very competitive first half against Gopher Conference East leader Hayfield Friday, Feb. 5.

The second half was all home team.

The Panthers, who trailed just 29-26 at halftime, were outscored 36-14 by the Vikings in the second half and lost 65-40.

"We came out of the gate a little slow, but ended the first half on an 11-0 run to pull within three," said Panthers coach Dan Schmidt. "The second half, however, we just couldn't get in to our offense, and things fell apart."

The NRHEG wrestling team had a busy weekend, traveling to Mankato for a triangular Friday night and competing in two Saturday tournaments, the varsity at Maple River and Annabelle Petsinger at Pine Island.

The Panthers were defeated 55-24 by Mankato East in the opener Friday. Parker Bunn put NRHEG on the scoreboard with a fall at 126 pounds. After a forfeit win at 132, the Panthers dropped key falls at 138 and 145. East led 55-12 before the Panthers' Aden Berg and Makota Misgen closed it out with a fall and a forfeit at 220 and 285, respectively.
