Last week was another good one for the NRHEG High School baseball team.

The Panthers went 2-1 while improving their record to 5-2 on the season, 4-1 in the Gopher Conference.

NRHEG opened the week with a tough 4-3 loss at Medford Monday, but bounced back to beat Zumbrota-Mazeppa 13-3 Thursday at Legion Field and win 10-3 at Blooming Prairie Friday.


Medford 4, NRHEG 3

The Panthers fell as the winning run scored from third on a pickoff attempt at second base in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Trevor Tracy started on the mound and went the route for NRHEG, allowing three earned runs on two hits, with two strikeouts and no walks.

There’s no question where the strength has been so far for the NRHEG boys’ track and field team.

It’s in the throws.

The weight men had another strong showing at last Thursday’s Maple River Invitational, placing first, second and fifth in the shot put and discus.

“It was another good night for our throwers,” said coach Duey Ferber.

Also continuing to shine was the 4x800-meter relay team, which came within three seconds of a school record.

Minnesota Valley Lutheran won the meet, totaling 175 points. Following: Maple River 144.33. USC/AC 103.33, NRHEG 88, Madelia-Truman 43.33, Mankato Loyola 1.

The NRHEG High School boys’ golf team competed twice in recent action, at the Blooming Prairie Invitational Saturday, April 18 and at the USC Invitational Thursday, April 23 at Oak View Golf Course.

The Panthers did not field a full squad at Blooming Prairie, where Cannon Falls took the top spot with 327 strokes for 18 holes. Following were USC with 344, Kasson-Mantorville 361, Hayfield 361, JWP 374, Alden-Conger 393, Lyle/Austin Pacelli 492. Blooming Prairie did not have a full team.

Jake Langlie led the Panthers with a 99, good for 25th place individually. Nick Shultz shot 117 to finish in a tie for 38th.
