This Friday night CAM Cougar football will be back in Anita as the Cougars take on the Audubon Wheelers for their first game of the year. In order to prepare for the upcoming season, CAM had a scrimmage last week against a highly respectable Lenox program. It was there that Cougars Head Coach Barry Bower took away a better understanding of his squad.

One of the takeaways for Coach Bower from last Friday’s scrimmage was how this year’s CAM team will look a little different than last season’s 10-1 squad. Still, coach Bower’s belief in his team while having to replace six athletes is at an all-time high.

That confidence for CAM boils down to each starter focusing on their own individual role. Coach Bower has stressed to his team that there will be success for the Cougars if they focus on not only being a team but executing their position precisely.

This Friday’s game against Audubon will be no small task for CAM. The Wheelers also had a productive year in 2023 going 8-2 and advancing to the second round of the playoffs.

Coach Bower explained that for the Cougars to keep it close, they need to play clean football. That CAM has to keep penalty yardage and turnovers to a minimum.

KJAN has the coverage for Friday’s contest with the pregame show beginning at 6:30PM.
