The final score was deceiving. The NRHEG boys’ basketball team played arch rival WEM much closer than a 71-59 score would indicate.
The visiting Bucs overcame a halftime deficit and broke the game open with about seven minutes remaining while handing the Panthers a Gopher Conference loss at New Richland Thursday, Feb. 4.
“I told our boys I was proud of the effort,” said NRHEG coach Pat Churchill. “We just can't figure out how to win a game down the stretch against a really good team.”
The loss dropped the Panthers to 15-8 overall and 7-4 in the Gopher Conference while WEM improved to 18-3 and 9-1.

An eight-game winning streak was snapped for the NRHEG girls’ basketball team last week.
The Panthers played well for half but fell short in their Gopher Conference showdown at Waterville Thursday. The next night, they traveled to Mankato Loyola and absorbed a 68-60 setback. NRHEG fell to 17-6 overall, 7-3 in conference.
WEM 65, NRHEG 48
With snow days last week, NRHEG only had one day to discuss and break down scout infoormation on WEM, instead of the three days originally planned.
“With that being said, we did a nice job in the first half attacking the basket and went in at the half being down 32-34 on a buzzer beater from Kendall,” said coach Onika Peterson.
