There’s nothing like a little Carlie Wagner to add a bit of drama to your day.
Fortunately, it’s pure joy for fans of NRHEG athletics.
The sophomore has a flair for the dramatic in a good way, displayed on the basketball court in March as she set single-game and state tournament scoring records while leading the NRHEG girls’ basketball team to third place.
Last Friday, she out-dueled the defending state champion to win the Class A girls’ high jump championship during the state track and field meet at Hamline University in St. Paul.
“She’s unbelievable, the best athlete I’ve ever seen,” said NRHEG coach Duey Ferber. “She never ceases to amaze me.”

The New Richland Reds baseball blub has started its quest for yet another 1360 League Championship. Their record stands at 1-2 so far this season with several contests being rained out. Many of last year’s players have returned for 2012.
MN Lake Royals 5, Reds 3
The Reds traveled the short distance to Minnesota Lake on May 15 but were unable to mount much offense. The Reds sent four batters to the plate in the first inning but came up empty. The Royals opened the scoring with two runs in their half of their first. The Reds bounced back as Chris Somage led off the second with a single. Dan Fitterer and Andrew Harringtion both walked and later scored with Jason Churchill getting an RBI.
