NEW RICHLAND – Most football coaches feel if you can control the line of scrimmage, you can control a game.
The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva football team proved that theory true Friday.
The Panthers dominated play up front on the way to a 41-7 Homecoming win over Mankato Loyola. The game was called after three quarters due to lightning strikes.
NRHEG ran 56 plays in the game, compared to just 33 for the Crusaders.
“We controlled the line of scrimmage and that let us do the things we like to do,” said NRHEG coach Dan Stork.
