The NRHEG girls' basketball team got off to a decidedly slow start at Janesville last Tuesday.
The Panthers made sure it didn't happen Thursday.
The locals recovered from a 26-24 halftime deficit to defeat JWP 70-50 and, two nights later at Faribault, they raced to a 45-20 halftime advantage en route to a 79-40 triumph. NRHEG improved to 13-2 overall and 9-0 in the Gopher Conference.

“Cheerleading isn’t just waving your arms and shouting,” observes NRHEG senior Grace Wilkenson. Fellow senior Eva Wayne agrees: “People often don’t realize how serious it is,” she says. “It’s actually very competitive and very demanding.”
As three-time members of NRHEG’s state champion competitive cheer team and 10-year participants in the sport, the two of them would know.
Wayne and Wilkenson were among the 15 cheerleaders and four coaches who represented NRHEG at the weekend-long competition that ended Sunday, Jan. 29, 2023. On Saturday morning, the group performed its two-minute, 30-second routine along with 8 other competing teams and was ranked in the top half, thus advancing to finals later that evening.
