Despite having the full team shoot for the first time this year, the NRHEG clay target team had its toughest week yet for the fall league. The shooters only managed to score 7.5 of a total 24 possible points. This did not cause them to slip in the standings, but it does all but erase any chances to move up before the season ends this week.
Frank Altrichter and Collin Christianson tied with 40/50 targets to be the high shooters for the week. These two are also currently tied for the honor of being the team’s top gun for the season. Haylie Mosher maintained her second-place position for conference female shooters and remains in the top 25 in the state for female shooters.

WINTHROP – Coach Dan Stork’s New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva football team closed its regular season schedule on a high note, crushing Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop in Winthrop last Wednesday, 40-0.
The victory gave the Panthers second place in the Gopher/Valley AA Conference with a 4-1 record, right behind conference champ Maple River.
The Panthers, who have won three of their last four games, improved to 5-3 overall. NRHEG has won three of four road games this fall.
GFW ended up in the conference cellar with a 0-5 mark. The Thunderbirds are winless in eight games this season.
“I was happy with our effort tonight,” said Stork. “We took care of business against a team we should have beaten.”
