Cardinal Football Gears Up for Season

WAITSBURG - The Waitsburg High School Cardinals football team will play their first home game on September 2, 2023. The Saturday night game against Touchet will be the first 8-man football game for first-year head coach Gabe Kiefel.

The high school and middle school coaches and assistants have put twenty high school and ten middle school players through drills in preparation for the upcoming season.

Kiefel held the first annual presentation of jerseys on Saturday, August 19. After practice, family members gathered as each football player was presented their jersey by a chosen family member, and memorable photos were captured.

Pomeroy High School is hosting a Football Jamboree on Saturday, August 26, starting at 1 p.m. and Coach Kiefel said most of the league teams will be there. The Cardinals will be able to see the other teams in play and learn what type of offenses and defenses they will be up against this season.

Each team at the jamboree will rotate with ten plays on offense and ten on defense against five or six other teams. League teams expected to be at the event are Pomeroy, Waitsburg, Desales, Dayton, Touchet, Liberty Christian, St John/Endicott, and Tekoa-Rosalia.

Go CARDINALS!
