The Caldwell Chief community is saddened today as
we lost one of our best, Mark Teshkoyan. Mark dedicated over 35 years of his life to his students and athletes, both as a teacher and as a coach.
Mark will never be forgotten.
After over 40 years of coaching football, Head Coach Tom Lamont has announced his retirement. One of the great Chief Coaches, Coach Lamont will go out on top, leading his team to a 12-0, North Group 2 State Championship. A great coach but a better person...Coach will be missed
This picture is hard to believe…but not really. Our community is the best. The Caldwell spectators easily doubled ALL other spectator attendance for the 5 Group Championship games this weekend at Rutgers and this has been confirmed…it wasn’t even close!
Take a five minute break and give someone a hug and tell them that you love them.... you never know when it could be the last time. Jim Brown was a great man and will be missed by everyone. If anyone needs anything, do not hesitate. We all need each other right now.
Can you say Undefeated State Champions?
This special group of guys beat an excellent Hanover Park football team 44-14 in the Group 2 Section 1 State Championship last night improving to 11-0 but…their work is not done. One more next week at Met Life. Amazing!!!
Do we have any idea how good the Chiefs are? 3 amazing seasons in a row we are State Champions. Let’s remember Baseball, Football and now Basketball. Absolutely remarkable. A real tribute to our great athletes and coaches. Proud to be a Chief!
A great man, a great educator, a great friend is permanently memorialized at the Grover Cleveland Middle School. Well done by the Cald-WC BOE and all those involved in this awesome tribute.
