NRHEG High School announced its spring sports award winners and senior athletes of the year at the annual ceremony last Thursday in the New Richland gymnasium.

They were:

• Outstanding Female Senior Athlete — Anna Schlaak

• Outstanding Male Senior Athlete — David Lassahn


Baseball

• MVP — Sam Lundberg

• Most Improved — Tyler Sorenson

• Gold Glove — Lucas Meyer

The NRHEG golf teams watched their seasons come to an end with a less-than-impressive showing at the Sub-section 2AA tournament on May 29 at the North Links Golf Course.

The boys came in a disappointing sixth place while the Panther girls finished fifth.

The boys’ team was led by Spencer Hanna and Jake Langlie who shot matching 94s. Sam Grothem was seven shots back at 101. Sam Nafe (105) and Macoy Schwierjohann (112) were the other varsity players.

Josh Baldus of Fairmont was medalist for the tournament with an 80. Andy Aukes (BEA) and Austin Snow (Waseca) were runners-up with 82s.

NRHEG baseball team finishes 18-4


The NRHEG baseball team saw its season come to an unexpected end with a 10-2 loss to St. Peter in the second round of the Section 2A tournament at New Richland’s Legion Field last Friday.

The Panthers — champions of the Gopher Conference — finished the season with a record of 18-4.

You could say the ball just did not bounce the Panthers’ way.

“St. Peter hit the ball very well and found some holes and gaps,” said NRHEG coach Jeff Reese. “Whereas we had had numbers ‘at them’ balls. We would not get the big play or the clutch hit.”
