Another week, another win.
And so it went for the NRHEG girls’ basketball team, which remained undefeated after five games with a 58-51 triumph over visiting Medford Friday night.
According to Panthers coach Onika Peterson, the final outcome was probably closer than it should have been.
“We were able to make big runs throughout the game and at one point had a lead of 19,” said Peterson. “However, at times we got lackadaisical in our defense and they were able to hit some big shots and kept working their way back in. We need to make sure that we play to our full potential throughout the whole game and not just when the game is close.”

After dropping the first two games, the NRHEG boys’ basketball team is on a bit of a roll.
The Panthers won their fifth game in six starts Friday, traveling to Medford for a 66-38 victory. The Panthers are 5-3 overall and 2-1 in the Gopher Conference.
Medford kept things close in the first half, trailing just 14-9 with eight minutes remaining and 27-18 at halftime.
“I thought Medford was playing with more aggression than we did the first 18 minutes,” said NRHEG coach Pat Churchill. “In the second half I thought we came out a little more aggressive.”
