Alyssa Kerkhoff didn’t keep the fans waiting long Friday night in New Richland.

Kerkhoff, a sophomore guard for the New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva girls’ basketball team, needed 21 points to reach 1,000 career points. She scored 21 in the first half as the Panthers (22-1, 14-0) rolled over Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton 68-20.

“The girls came out on a mission tonight,” NRHEG head coach Mindy Sparby said. “They played great defense and we made most of our points in transition in the first half.”

Kerkhoff finished with 26 points, five rebounds, seven steals and three assists. Alyssa Hagen added 15 and freshman Anna Schlaak had 11 points and 11 rebounds.

The Panthers face Medford Friday.
