Hannah Obermark-5-11 Senior Forward-Washington Blue Jays.

#13

Stats-10.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.

Hannah has been named to All Tournament Teams at Washington and Borgia this year.

She posted a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds in the consolation game against Borgia Saturday afternoon.  

Coach Adam Meyer-“Hannah has been an instrumental part of the programs success the last three years.  

As a sophomore Hannah help lead the JV team where she saw spot minutes on the varsity as a sophomore.  

As a Junior Hannah played in every game and averaged 3 points a game. This season Hannah is averaging 10.5 pts per game and little over 5 rebounds per game.  

What sets Hannah apart from everyone else is her positive attitude.  She comes to practice everyday and never takes a play off.  She leads by example and is great to the younger blue jays.  Hannah has been named to the Union and Borgia All-tourney teams.  

After high school Hannah wants to become a teacher.  This is a perfect fit for her and I know she will do great things in the classroom.”

NFLPA Executive Director Pushes Back On 18th Game
2/6/2025
The NFL Players Association is pushing back on any plans to extend the regular season schedule to 18 games.

Goodell said Monday that 18 regular season games and two preseason games "might be a possibility," but Howell responded by saying "no one" wants to play an 18th game. Several issues including the number of bye weeks, roster size and length of the offseason would need to be addressed before any negotiations take place.

Chiefs Hit Stage For Super Bowl Opening Night/Eagles Kick Off Super Bowl Opening Night In Big Easy
2/4/2025
The Chiefs are looking forward to a chance to accomplish something no team in NFL history has before them. Kansas City's players and coaches addressed their opportunity at a three-peat as they hit the stage at Super Bowl Opening Night at the Caesars Superdome on Monday. The Chiefs square off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday. They have beat the 49ers and Eagles in the last two Super Bowls behind star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. Mahomes has a chance to become just the fourth starting quarterback in NFL history to win four Super Bowls while head coach Andy Reid would also tie Chuck Noll for second-place all-time among head coaches with four Super Bowl wins.

The Eagles are bringing a healthy amount of swagger to the Big Easy for Super Bowl 59.  The team took part in the traditional Opening Night media session on Monday from Caesars Superdome.  Philly is more than familiar with its opponent as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are going for the league's first-ever three-peat.  Philadelphia fell to Kansas City in Super Bowl 57 to jumpstart Kansas City's quest for three straight titles.  However, the Eagles are eyeing their second-ever Lombardi trophy and feel they have the answers to stopping Mahomes mania.  Philadelphia lost by just three points when the sides squared off in Glendale two years ago.
