If you added up all the points scored by Wagners for the NRHEG girls’ basketball team, you’d probably need a calculator.
Junior Marnie Wagner is the latest to join the 1,000-point club, joining sisters Carlie and Maddie, as the Panthers pounded JWP 84-46 last Monday in their first of three wins for the week.
The Panthers, 17-4 overall and 7-2 in the Gopher Conference, have won eight games in a row heading into Thursday’s showdown at conference-leading WEM.

In the last couple years, the Maple River Eagles have been a tough crew to beat for the NRHEG boys’ basketball team.
The trend continued last week.
The Panthers hosted the Gopher Conference leaders and defending section champs and kept it close for a half before falling 59-42 at New Richland Tuesday, Jan. 26. They bounced back for a pair of wins Thursday and Friday, improving to 15-7 overall and 6-3 in the Gopher Conference.

The Eagles dominated early, building a 14-0 lead before the Panthers got on the scoreboard. NRHEG battled back to take a 23-21 lead at halftime, but the Eagles opened it up in the second half to run their record to 18-2.

The NRHEG wrestlers traveled to Mapleton last Friday with hopes for a win and a chance for a share of the Gopher Conference title.
Unforeseen factors changed things.
An injury in their lineup forced the Panthers to wrestle differently than planned and they went on to lose 45-30 to Maple River Jan. 29.
“This match,” said Panthers coach Shawn Larson, “was a heartbreaker.”
Bonus points were the difference.
