The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva girls’ basketball team scored at least 80 points in routing three opponents last week.

For good measure, they added another lop-sided win for their 50th consecutive victory on Monday, trouncing Medford 72-26 in New Richland. It was the 50th consecutive victory, dating back to December 2012, for the defending state champion Panthers.

Last week, NRHEG blasted Faribault BA, Albert Lea and Maple River. The Panthers are 10-0 in the Gopher Conference, 20-0 overall.

The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva boys’ basketball team won the most important of three games played in recent action.

The Panthers upended Maple River and Faribault BA for the second time this season, keeping them in the Gopher Conference race. 

NRHEG could not maintain the same defensive effort, losing a non-conference contest with the Blue Earth Area Buccaneers.

Coach Pat Churchill’s Panthers are 7-3 in the Gopher Conference and 14-6 for the season, including 9-3 on the road.
