The NRHEG High School golf teams opened competition for the 2016 season last week.

The girls traveled to Blooming Prairie Monday, April 11, finishing first with 260 strokes for nine holes to runner-up Maple River’s 275. USC and Blooming Prairie did not have full squads.

For the Panthers: Jessica Nafe, 62; Kyra Possin, 63; Tali Wayne, 67; Bayle Possin, 68; Grace Logan, 81.

Taylor Christianson of Blooming Prairie was the medalist with a 54.

The boys traveled to Maple River Tuesday and finished fifth among five squads with a nine-hole total of 211. Blooming Prairie won with 165, followed by Maple River with 174, USC 175 and Bethlehem Academy 205.

NRHEG scores: Adam Oquist, 48; Rob Jewett, 51; Nick Shultz, 54; Chris Stenzel, 58; Ross Lenort, 73; Ethan Thompson, 76.

The medalist was Nick Neubauer of USC with a 37.


With temperatures hovering near 40 degrees and the wind whipping, Monday was a day the NRHEG softball team was looking to go home early.

Kayley Camerer and Gabby Muri made sure it happened.

The pair combined to drive in 11 runs and the Panthers capitalized on nine walks and numerous errors to 10-run Waterville-Elysian-Morristown 22-3 in five innings.

“The girls played great defense and hit the ball well,” said NRHEG coach Wendy Schultz, whose squad evened its record at 1-1. “Kayley and Gabby hit the ball especially well.”

If not for the first inning, the NRHEG baseball team might have kept it close at Waterville-Elysian-Morristown on Monday.

But the first inning was a rough one.

The Bucs plated eight runs on four hits, six walks, an error and hit batsman and went on to beat the Panthers 15-5 in five innings. NRHEG fell to 0-2 after opening the season against teams favored to compete for the conference title.
