SHERBURN – Mistakes will kill you. Just ask the New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva football team. 

The Panthers committed five turnovers in their opening round Section 3AA playoff game. As a result, NRHEG’s season is over. 

Fourth-seeded Martin County West handed the fifth-seeded Panthers a 40-14 setback in the section quarterfinal round at Sherburn last Tuesday.

“I was proud of our effort, but we had five turnovers and you just can’t do that, especially against good teams,” said NRHEG coach Dan Stork. “MCW took advantage of our mistakes.”

The Mavericks raised their record to 8-1 heading into the semifinals.
