Peterson runs for 262 yards as NRHEG improves to 2-1

It was a sad, somber week in New Richland. The field at the high school — like much of the town — was decorated in blue ribbons in honor of fallen Police Chief Scott Eads, and a moment of silence was observed before Friday night’s football game.
None of it bothered the NRHEG Panthers.
Led by Perry Peterson’s 262 yards rushing and three touchdowns, they went out and played a near-flawless game while throttling visiting Waterville-Elysian-Morristown 30-22.
It was the second straight win for the Panthers after a week-one loss to Mayer Lutheran. An injury-plagued WEM squad fell to 1-2, a rare losing record for a Jon Bakken-coached crew.

It was another challenging week for the NRHEG volleyball team as the Panthers lost to LeSueur-Henderson Tuesday and Medford Thursday. Both were in New Richland.
NRHEG fell to 3-6 overall and 0-2 in the Gopher Conference.
The Panthers won game one against LS-H 25-23 but dropped the next three 25-22, 25-17, 25-13.
“We started out strong tonight, but slowly started to unravel,” said Panthers coach Onika Peterson. “By game four, we weren't getting touches on their hitters and weren't able to dig up their hits. We need to keep the ball playable, have a stronger serve receive, and cut down on mental errors.”
