CAM Needed a Softball Partner and Griswold Stepped Up; Formal Agreement Approved by Both School Boards

(Anita, IA) — On Monday night, the CAM and Griswold school boards both approved a sharing agreement for the sport of softball.  CAM’s numbers had dropped to only 8 players which is not enough to field a team so Athletic Director Joe Wollum at CAM began looking for a partner and Griswold whose numbers are not great themselves were open to the idea

Last year, CAM played with just 12 players and four seniors going 12-11.  Griswold played with 16 players and three seniors going 26-5.  Combined, the program will be able to field a JV team and have plenty of numbers for Varsity

The sharing agreement will be for the 2025 and 2026 seasons and then will be re-examined.  Wollum says its not the first choice to do something like this but CAM didn’t have a choice

Griswold’s softball Head Coach Jodi Rossell will be the Head Coach of Griswold/CAM while the Cougar’s co-coaches Jeni Follmann and Layne Westfall will be assistants.  The team will also move up in classification from 1A to 2A.
