Consistency is what nearly every athletic team aims for. Good teams usually develop it during a season. Bad teams do not.
Coach Onika Peterson’s New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva volleyball team continued to struggle with consistency last week.
NRHEG dropped a non-conference match in four games to Tri-City United, playing one of its best and one of its worst games of the year in the match.
