The 2025 fall season has been very successful for the Caldwell Chiefs. Each team worked to have a great season, even when faced with difficulties. Many seniors experienced their last time ever playing the sport that they dedicated their time to. All that time they spent training and conditioning has now come to an end. Practices during the summer and after school have all paid off. The long games and meets have come to an end. Some will move on to play in college while others are hanging up their shoes.
