Casper new Barton women’s soccer coach
The Barton County Community College women’s soccer team will be under the guidance of Bob Casper next season as Casper has been named to replace Jared Wilbanks, who coached the Cougars for a pair of season. Wilbanks will be getting out of college soccer coaching, taking a job in a forensics laboratory in Texas. Casper comes to Barton from Bemidji State, where he was an assistant coach the past two seasons. Casper is the 4th coach in the 6-year history of the program.

Casper had a pair of the best seasons in school history the past two years, guiding Bemidji State to records of 10-10 and 12-4-7. The most wins in any season prior to his stint at Bemidji was just 4. During his 2-year stay, Bemidji State went 22-14-7, placing 2nd in the Northern Sun Conference in 2005.

Casper played college soccer at University of Wisconsin-Platteville, and NCAA Division III school from 1999-2002. He was the co-captain 2 seasons and helped him club improve from 6-13 his 1st season to 10-5-3 in his final year.

Coach Casper comments
Barton has a rich tradition, which I will work my hardest to keep going. Though the women’s program is only 6 years old, we have had great players and coaches who have built the program. It is my job to keep the girls motivated and to play their best and bring Barton County women’s soccer to the next level.
