Blooming Prairie Awesome Blossoms girls’ basketball team falls to NRHEG 65-31

The Blooming Prairie Awesome Blossoms girls’ basketball team was looking to run their current winning streak to three Friday night in New Richland against the NRHEG Panthers in a Gopher Conference matchup, but it was the Panthers draining 12 3-point field goals on their way to a 65-31 win.

Senior guard Bobbie Bruns was the lone Blossom in double figures in scoring with 17 points, Anna Pauly tallied five points, Emily Anderson swished a 3-point field goal for three points and Chloe McCarthy, Shawntee Snyder and Lauren Schammel each scored two points apiece for the Blossoms, who are now 10-5 in the Gopher Conference and 14-9 overall on the season.

Blooming Prairie returns to action Tuesday evening in a non-conference game at Waseca versus the Bluejays out of the Big South Conference, with varsity tip-off scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
