The 2016-17 season was completed for the NRHEG wrestling team Saturday, Feb. 25 with the Section 2A Individual Tournament at Blue Earth.
As far as coach Shawn Larson was concerned, it ended a week early.
The young Panthers did not have a wrestler qualify for the state tournament, a rarity at NRHEG.
“It is unfortunate that the season came to an end for us without an individual qualifier for the state tournament, but we did have some good individual efforts,” said Larson.
The best effort was from junior Cole Staloch, who came home with third place at 152 pounds, missing state by one place.

The NRHEG boys’ basketball team is starting to get a bit predictable.
All they do is win.
The Panthers remained unbeaten last week, dispatching arch-rival WEM in a key Gopher Conference contest while taking nonconference decisions over Kenyon-Wanamingo and Hayfield. Coach Pat Churchill’s crew improved to 11-0 overall and 2-0 in the conference.

Visiting NRHEG walked away with a hard fought victory Saturday against a well coached, disciplined Hayfield team.
“Over the past few years, these games have been such grinds against these guys,” said Churchill. “They are so patient and take care of the basketball extremely well.”

Within the Gopher Conference? That’s another story.
