Bartz, Eustice nail 48 of 50; several finish regular season among state’s top 100

The NRHEG clay target team held off an end-of-the-season surge by the second-place team from Anoka to complete the Fall League on top of Conference 9.

The team, which consists of 37 students in grades 6-12, never trailed in the conference standings all season.

In the final week, it was two students from Wasea who posted the best scores on the team. Kyle Bartz and Zachary Eustice turned in rounds of 48/50. Six shooters scored rounds that ranked in the top 10 for the week.

The weather was a bit cooler and the wind had a bit more bite on the high school shooters as they lined up for week four of their Fall League competition.

But it was more than the shooters that felt the bite as scores for the team were a bit lower than a typical night for the NRHEG squad.  With just three NRHEG scores in the top 10 for the conference, it was the team from Anoka that put up top points in the conference. But, with a fairly comfortable lead in hand, this just meant a smaller gap between the first-place NRHEG team and their counterparts from Anoka.

The NRHEG volleyball team closed out the regular season at home Thursday, Oct. 22 against Blooming Prairie.

It’s not the way they’d like to go into tournament time.

The Panthers had a tough night as the Blossoms swept 3-0, game scores of 25-16, 25-23, 25-10.

It left NRHEG 12-12 overall. The Panthers finished 2-4 in the Gopher Conference.
