With the unseasonably warm weather it hardly seems possible, but Carlie Wagner is ready to hit the basketball court for another season.
Wagner and the University of Minnesota women’s basketball team begin play for 2015-2016 Friday night at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, hosting Wofford University in a 5:30 p.m. tipoff.
Wagner, NRHEG’s Golden Girl who led the Panthers to three straight state tournaments and consecutive state championships, is starting her sophomore season for the Golden Gophers.

With wind and 40-degree temperatures, NRHEG cross country coach Mike Weber could not help but wonder how his teams would respond in the Section 2A meet.
As Weber put it, “They showed up to run.”
The Panthers, who ran on the same course seven weeks earlier, showed marked improvement in the season-ending race at Montgomery Thursday, Oct. 29.
The boys totaled 593 points for 21st among 22 schools that scored. Two squads were incomplete. Glencoe-Silver Lake won with 103 points; Jordan was second at 126.

NRHEG volleyball coach Onika Peterson called time out during the Panthers’ opening-round sub-section match against Waseca, and told her players to concentrate on only one thing: the next point.
“We talked to the girls,” said Peterson. “And told them that they have to play and fight for one point at a time.”
It must have worked, because the Panthers bounced back from a lackluster showing in game one and rallied for a 3-1 triumph at New Richland last Thursday. The Bluejays won the first game 25-19 but the Panthers reeled off wins of 25-21, 25-17 and 25-22 to take it.
