New CAM head football coach Barry Bower is very excited to take over the program that he played for as a youngster. Bower played under the very influential Dean Downer, just as the transition merger was made to become the CAM School District. Bower said it means a lot to him to get this opportunity at a place he loves.

Bower spent four seasons as head coach of the Red Oak football team, and he said once he had that experience he has always had a bit of an itch to get back into it at some point.

Bower had high praise for Coach Downer who he played under and Coach Wollum who he worked with the past few seasons. He said he wants to live up to the standards they have set and brig a passionate attitude to the team.

Coach Bower said he will bring his wrinkles into the program but ultimately he wants the kids to be proud of the effort they put in and build strong relationships that will carry on past the football field.

Coach Bower has strong footing to enter in on with the team coming off an 8-3 season a year ago and an appearance in the Quarterfinals of the 8-Man playoffs. The full length interview with Coach Bower will be available on this story later today.
