When the NRHEG cross country teams traveled to the Gopher Valley Conference meet at Oak View Golf Course Thursday, Oct. 22, it was not an unfamiliar path.

They’d been there a week earlier.

“Last week our squad ran at Freeborn, and we did tonight,” said coach Mike Weber. “Typically, this never happens, but it was rather nice, as we could get accurate times to see improvement. The boys ran well at our Gopher-Valley Conference meet.”

They were led by senior Tyler Schlaak, who clocked 19:11 for 29th place. Right behind was Josh Fleming in 30th with a time of 19:13.

For the third week in a row, the shooters of the NRHEG clay target team outscored all other squads and thus extended their lead in Conference 9 of the Fall Target League.

The team had eight athletes in the top 10 scorers of the week, led by Collin Christiansen with a score of 48/50.

"Collin had been struggling a bit this season," noted coach Dan Sorum. "So, it was nice to see him get back into the groove and post a great score."

The Blue Earth Area Buccaneers did not just beat the NRHEG Panthers.

They beat them up.

The Bucs knocked a number of Panthers out of the game and sent one off in an ambulance while dominating a Section 2AA football playoff game 48-22 at New Richland Wednesday, Oct. 14.

“Blue Earth Area is a very good football team; their team speed is incredible,” said NRHEG coach Dan Stork, whose squad finished with a more-than-respectable 6-3 record after their only lop-sided defeat of the year.
