HUTCHINSON – The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva faced some of its toughest competition of the season Saturday.
In addition to three-time state champ Jackson, the field at Hutchinson included ranked teams Prior Lake, Atwater-Cosmos-Grove, Willmar and Hutchinson.
“We knew the competition was as tough as any we will face all year. We were hoping to be competitive in a difficult situation,” said NRHEG coach Shawn Larson. “We did not rise to the occasion. Our true test will be responding to this setback this week.”
The Panthers doubled their point total from a year ago, but their 110.5 points could do them no better than a sixth-place tie with Watertown-Mayer.
