Coach Paul Cyr’s NRHEG wrestling team had an unexpected week off going into the Christmas break.
The Panthers were scheduled to make the long trip to Winona to tangle with Winona, Faribault and St. Charles Dec. 20. That meet was postponed due to the snow and poor driving conditions that evening.
The Panthers will make up that meet on Jan. 5.
The next action for NRHEG is a home quadrangular with Blue Earth, St. Clair and Triton on Jan. 4.

The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva wrestlers got off to a good start in the Gopher Conference.
And after a tough first round, the Panthers had a respectable showing at the tough Redwood River Riot in Redwood Falls.
“We didn’t perform very well in our conference dual with Medford,” said NRHEG coach Paul Cyr. “But, I give our guys a lot of credit. After a tough first round at Redwood we wrestled pretty tough for the remainder of the tournament.”
The Medford victory was the first dual meet of the season for NRHEG.
