Cardinals Open Season with Renewed Purpose and High Energy Under Coach Obering
With the winter sports season tipping off, the Washburn Cardinals girls basketball team is gearing up for what Head Coach Jarod Obering hopes will be a breakthrough year. The Cardinals enter the 2025 campaign with a blend of returning experience, developing talent, and a renewed commitment to taking the next step in a competitive Region 5 field.
As practices ramp up and opening night draws closer, Obering says the early portion of the season always brings its own set of challenges—mainly the uncertainty of whether the team is fully prepared. “Prior to games is the most confusing time of the season,” he admitted. “It’s difficult to have any perspective on if we are doing ‘enough’ of the important things, while covering condition—physical and mental.”
