NEW RICHLAND – The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva football team showed why you play the game. Despite both teams losing their opening games, the Panthers were a big underdog against Waterville-Elysian-Morristown.
Coach Dan Stork’s Panthers defeated the Buccaneers for the first time since 2007, capturing a 21-12 win at New Richland Friday.
“We were able to run the ball and we didn’t make many mistakes,” said Stork. “We were able to control the ball on the ground and really shut them off on third down plays.”
It was the opening game in Gopher/Valley AA Conference play, leaving NRHEG tied for the top with Medford and Maple River. The Panthers evened their overall record at 1-1.

Coach Onika Peterson’s New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva volleyball team continues to struggle with mental errors.
The Panthers won a five-set match against Waterville-Elysian-Morristown before getting swept by Blooming Prairie.
The WEM match was a non-conference match so the Panthers are 0-1 in the Gopher Conference and 2-2 overall.
“We must cut down on our mental errors,” said Peterson. “We are not communicating, making setting errors, missing serves and committing net violations. These are mistakes we need to correct.”
WEM
