When they started the season winning one of three games, you had to wonder what kind of year it would be for first-year head coach Coy Hupfeld and the NRHEG High School softball team.
Since then there’s been little doubt.
The Panthers ended the regular season last week with a pair of victories, extending their winning streak to six games. They’re 12-3 overall, 6-1 in the Gopher Conference, having won 11 of 12 since starting the season 1-2. They opened sub-section play Tuesday. The Panthers finished in a three-way tie for the conference championship.

When examining the Gopher Conference meet on paper, NRHEG girls’ track and field coach Duey Ferber figured his Panthers had a good chance to finish in fifth place.
His figuring was right on.
The Panther girls were fifth out of seven schools in the conference meet they hosted Tuesday, May 12 in New Richland.
“It was a good night for our girls,” said Ferber. “We ended up about where we figured we’d place.”
WEM won the championship with 154 points, with Maple River second at 105. USC/AC was next with 102.5 followed by NRHEG with 95, Medford 79.5 and Bethlehem Academy 55.
