Cardinals take two of three in competitive week
The Washburn Cardinals boys basketball team continued to make early noise in the District 8 and Region 4 landscape last week, picking up a pair of wins before falling in a competitive weekend matchup to New Rockford-Sheyanne.
With the results, the Cardinals moved to 3-0 in district competition, 3-0 in the region, and 6-3 overall as the midpoint of the season approaches.
Washburn opened the week on the road Tuesday, Jan. 13, when they traveled north to face Garrison in a rivalry matchup that once again highlighted the defensive intensity and physicality common between the two programs.
Possessions were at a premium in the early going, with both teams working through extended halfcourt sets and limiting turnovers.
