The high flying Blooming Prairie Blossoms came and left New Richland with their undefeated record and high state ranking intact.

But it wasn’t all that easy.

The NRHEG football team gave the Blossoms their closest game of the year while falling 35-20 at New Richland Wednesday, Oct. 15 in the final game of the regular season.

“What a battle,” said Panthers coach Dan Stork.

That it was.

You have to wonder what was said to the NRHEG football team at halftime last Friday. Whatever it was, it must have been good.

The Panthers trailed winless Medford 26-20 at the intermission, but blanked the Tigers in the second half while romping to a 56-26 triumph in New Richland.

According to Panthers coach Dan Stork, whose team improved to 2-3 in the conference and 3-4 overall, the first-half difference was obvious.

The NRHEG Clay Target team posted some lower-than-average scores in week three of the MSHSCTL Fall League, but managed to hold onto their lead in Conference 6 over the team from Hermantown.

The most notable drop was from Waseca's Sam Bartz who had a rough week posting a 38/50 targets broken after posting a nearly perfect 49/50 last week. It wasn't just Sam who struggled as about half of the top 50% of the team’s shooters posted lower-than-average scores.
