BLUE EARTH – The future of New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva wrestling appears to be in pretty good shape.
Three Panther underclassmen survived section competition to qualify for the state meet, and three more NRHEG wrestlers barely missed out.
“We had a good section tournament, but were very close to having a spectacular showing,” said NRHEG coach Paul Cyr. “We lost a couple of heartbreaking matches that could have given us two more qualifiers.”
The Section 2AA Tournament at Blue Earth turned into a one-day event when Friday’s competition was cancelled because of the weather. The entire tourney was held Saturday.

MONTGOMERY – Teams like to have momentum on their side when they begin tournament play. The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva girls’ basketball team will have no trouble with that.
The Panthers take a 23 game winning streak into tournament play as they ended their regular season by crushing Tri-City United in Montgomery Feb. 19, 83-32.
NRHEG improved to 25-1 for the year, including 11-1 on the road.
Any chance of NRHEG taking the Titans lightly disappeared early as the Panthers scored the first 30 points. Before the half ended, NRHEG built a 61-13 advantage.
