Coach Duey Ferber did the math, and it added up to a great meet for the NRHEG girls' track and field team.
"Six first places and four sec- ond places," said Ferber, "equals a good night."

Three of the Panthers firsts belonged to senior Evelyn Nydegger, who won the 100- meter high hurdles in 17.48 sec- onds, the 300 intermediate hur- dles in 50.42, and the triple jump at 32 feet, 3 inches.

From the first inning on, it was an uphill battle for the NRHEG softball team.
The Panthers, who saw United South Central take a 3-0 advantage, never could catch up and lost 8-0 at Wells last Thursday.
The Rebels, who totaled 11 hits and one error, added single runs in the fourth and sixth and three in the fifth while holding the Panthers to two hits.
Izley Boerner and Faith Nielsen singled for the Panthers, who com- mitted five fielding errors.
The Rebels doubled and hit a home run. Nielsen pitched for the Panthers, allowing three earned runs while walking two and striking out one.
M. Anderson, the winning pitcher, struck out 12 and walked none while going the distance.
The Panthers kept it close through five innings Friday against Blooming Prairie, but fell 5-2 at Legion Field in New Richland.

All things considered, last week was not a bad one for the NRHEG High School baseball team. Especially when you consider the Panthers have a first-year head coach and a squad with no seniors.
That didn't seem to matter last Tuesday as the Panthers traveled to Blue Earth Area and toughed out a 4-3 victory.
"The last couple of days of base- ball could not be any more fun and exciting!" said NRHEG coach Shawn Larson. "We were walked off yesterday in extra innings, and today we were able to close out a one-run game in the seventh inning."
It was close most of the day. The Panthers led 3-0 after the top of the sixth inning, but the Bucs scored three in their at-bat to tie it.
The Panthers scored the winning run in the top of the seventh, when Carter Martens delivered a clutch two-out single to drive in Alden Dobberstein.
Martens, Dobberstein and Devon Parpart collected one hit apiece as the Panthers capitalized on seven Blue Earth Area fielding miscues. Dobberstein had two RBIs, Martens and Brooks Gilliland one apiece. Parpart stole three bases, one more than Dobberstein and Jared Lee.
