There were definite signs of hope for the NRHEG baseball team.
So far, though, no victories for the young Panthers.
NRHEG lost a pair of games this past week, falling 4-3 in eight innings at USC and dropping an 11-2 decision to Faribault Academies at Legion Field on Monday.
Both games were close, at least most of the way.
The Panthers played conference favorite Faribault Academies even up, with the score tied 2-2 entering the fourth inning.

The NRHEG baseball team’s Friday, April 26 home game has been designated a “Strike Out Cancer” game.
Pregame activities begin at 4:30 p.m., with the game following at 5 (pending the weather). There will be a short program with captains giving a short speech, captain Brad Claycomb and music teacher Mrs. Fredrickson singing the National Anthem, first pitches thrown out by Coach Jeff Reese, in memory of his sister, whose life was taken by cancer; Carley Kempe, cancer survivor and captain Casey Rosacker's mother; and Dacoda Malakowsky, NRHEG first-grader and cancer survivor.
The game will be announced and concessions will be available. A hot dog special and popcorn & pop special will be offered. Free will donations will be taken for the American Cancer Society. Students and the public can also make donations at school for the "Strike Out" Cancer Hall of Fame in honor or in memory of those who have been affected by cancer.

Ferber wonders after Wagner wins again

Just think what will happen when it gets warm.
That’s what NRHEG track and field coach Duey Ferber was wondering after the Panthers’ second outdoor meet of the season last Tuesday, April 16.
He was wondering how high will Carlie Wager go? The junior defending state high jump champion won the event again, clearing 5-4, just 2 inches short of her state title leap.
“She had another nice night in the high jump,” said Ferber. “It will be fun to see what she can do in warm weather.”
As a team, the Panthers finished fourth out of five squads in the USC/AC Invitational at Wells. Blue Earth Area won with 96.33, followed by Martin County West with 92, USC/AC 83, NRHEG 49.33 and St. Clair 43.33.
