Brein breaks 50 of 50 targets to lead conference

Joey Brein did not feel the wind or the cold. Well, maybe he did, but he accomplished theNRHEG clay target team's first perfect round of 50 straight nonetheless lead the team to yet another strong week.

Only overshadowed by the conference leader, the second-place Panther shooters turned in their best weekly score of the season.

Brein's round of 50/50 was good enough to lead the conference as he broke out of a mini-slump the past couple of weeks. This was his second time holding the 50 patch in his career.

A number of other shooters flirted with getting the coveted patches but only one more, Adam Eustice, was able to seal the deal. This is Adam's second week in a row earning a patch.

The conference and team leader is currently Caden Beauvais with an average of 23.83 after three weeks of competition. Second on the team and in the conference is Charles Pittman, with a 23.67 average out of a possible 25.

Talk about a turnaround.

After being blown out the first two weeks of the 2019 season, some people were concerned about the fortunes of the NRHEG football team.

Maybe they shouldn’t have worried.

The Panthers bounced back in a big way on their home field Friday, Sept. 13, soundly defeating St. James Area 55-6.

So how did the Panthers turn it around?

“We just needed time to be honest, I think,” said coach Marc Kruger. “Our players are starting to really understand what it takes to play varsity.”

By all accounts, they figured it out. The Panthers outgained the Saints 458-214, holding the visitors to 14 rushing yards on 24 attempts.
