Everyone knew the Gopher Conference would be challenging for the NRHEG boys’ basketball team.
The nonconference schedule hasn’t been a cakewalk either.
The Panthers, fresh off a third-place finish in the Bethany Christmas Tournament, let a scrappy Hayfield crew back in the game and lost 75-69 at New Richland Saturday, Jan. 2. NRHEG fell to 8-5 overall.
The Panthers jumped to an early 10-point lead, but Hayfield battled back to tie it 23-all at halftime.
“I thought we had a chance to get out ahead early in the first half, but Hayfield did a nice job of executing and hitting some shots that allowed them back in the game,” said Panthers coach Pat Churchill.
