The NRHEG High School clay target squad improved over its first week and were rewarded by moving up in the standings from fourth to second. The team now only trails the group from McGregor-Aitkin-Cromwell High school.

The Panthers did it with very impressive performances from their top shooters and a surprise round from one of the team's rookies.  Kyle Bartz (Waseca), an individual qualifier in the MSHSL State Individual Tournament last year, turned in a total 49/50 round. This brings his average over the first two weeks of the season to 24/25 which has him leading the conference and in the top 100 in the state. But, not to be outdone, newcomer Brett Kubiatowitcz (NRHEG) also turned in a 49/50 which included his first perfect round of 25 for the season. 

The struggles continued for the NRHEG baseball team, which lost three games in recent play.

First-year head coach Drew Paukert’s Panthers ran their record to 5-9 overall and 4-6 in the Gopher Conference as section tournament play nears.


WEM 9, NRHEG 0

The Panthers had trouble putting anything together against Bucs pitcher Dallas McBroom, who allowed only three hits in six innings at Waterville Monday, May 4.

The home team took control early, scoring twice in the bottom of the first and never looking back. The Panthers’ hits went to Trevor Tracy, John Hubly and Grant Kyllo.

Matt Jensen was the losing pitcher. He allowed seven earned runs on eight hits, with five strikeouts and three walks.


The NRHEG track and field teams competed in the Section 2A True Team Meet Tuesday, May 5.

Both squads finished 10th among 14 schools.

Minnesota Valley Lutheran won the boys’ division with 735 points, followed by LCWM/Nicollet with 635. The Panthers had 443.

Junior John Cole captured the Panthers’ lone first, outdueling his opponent in a sprint at the finish to win the 3200 meters with a time of 10:40.26.

“Rock & roll John Cole had a fantastic meet,” said NRHEG coach Duey Ferber.
