The CAM baseball team remains undefeated after a 6-1 road victory at Exira/EHK Wednesday night. The Cougars tacked on six runs on eight hits highlighted by four in the fifth inning. Junior Collin Bower began on the mound for the Cougars but after just one inning, Sophomore Kayden Winther came into relief and went the rest of the way for CAM. Head Coach Mick Long had high praise for his lone relief pitcher.

The game was scoreless after two innings, but the ice broke after Sophomore Carson McKee scored on a wild pitch in the third. Later in the fourth, Lucas James hit a double down the left field line to begin the inning. That was followed up by a Makade Paulsen double scoring James. After four, the Cougars led 2-0 and Long appreciated the defensive effort.

In the fifth, the Cougars slapped two base hits into right center field. Plus, capitalizing on a few Spartan miscues, the one through four hitters for CAM all came around to score to give the Cougars a 6-0 lead. Winthers kept Exira/EHK off the scoreboard until the bottom of the seventh. Starting pitcher for the Spartans, Josh Nelson had a single at the plate and came around to score after a few Exira/EHK base hits.

Long says the confidence is building with the hot start for his team.

CAM has taken the last three from Exira/EHK and 14 of the last 16.

(Red Oak, Iowa) — Officials with the Red Oak Community School District announced Wednesday, the District is honored to have received a formal invitation to join the Western Iowa Conference (WIC). The WIC is currently exploring expansion opportunities and is seeking member schools that demonstrate a strong and ongoing commitment to excellence in athletics, activities, and academics. The Shenandoah Community School District also received an invitation to leave the Hawkeye Ten Conference to join the WIC (Western Iowa Conference).

According to the invitation, the Red Oak CSD is viewed as a strong potential addition to the conference based on several key factors. These include its geographic proximity to current WIC member schools, similar enrollment history, a wide range of comparable activity offerings, overall district stability, a football classification in line with existing members, and the quality and availability of its athletic and activity facilities. The WIC also noted Red Oak’s competitiveness and continued commitment to programs in varsity and middle school sports, fine arts, and other student activities that align with the conference’s values.

While the Red Oak CSD is interested in exploring this opportunity as a means of enhancing the competitiveness and quality of its student programs, no final decision has been made. District leaders plan to gather input from coaches, staff, and other key stakeholders before making a recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board will carefully consider all feedback before making any determination. The Red Oak CSD remains committed to a transparent, inclusive, and collaborative decision-making process.

“We are grateful to the Western Iowa Conference for extending this invitation and for recognizing the strength and potential of our school district,” said Ron Lorenz, Superintendent of the Red Oak CSD. “We look forward to engaging in thoughtful conversations about this opportunity and what it could mean for our students.”

The Iowa Board of Regents facilities committee has approved more renovation work on the Iowa Hawkeye baseball complex. University of Iowa Vice president Rod Lehnertz says they did phase one after raising the money to pay for it.

Lehnertz says the next phase will make more improvements to Duane Banks Field.

Lehnertz says the next phase will start after the 2026 baseball season is over.

Lehnertz says they expect the project to be completed by the 2027 baseball season. The full board of Regents is expected to approve the project Thursday.
