The NRHEG baseball team is off to a great start for the 2015 season under first-year head coach Drew Paukert.

The Panthers are 3-1 overall and 3-0 in the Gopher Conference after defeating Waterville-Elysian-Morristown and Maple River while dropping a game to Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton.

There were plenty of highlights for the local nine, especially on the offensive side, with seniors Dakota Thiele and Matt Jensen belting home runs.

Don’t look now, but the NRHEG softball team is playing pretty well.

The Panthers, under first-year head coach Coy Hupfeld, improved to 2-2 overall and 2-1 in the Gopher Conference by winning two of three games in recent play.

The Panthers defeated Waterville-Elysian-Morristown 5-3 and defeated Blue Earth Area 8-3 while falling 3-0 to Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial.
