New Spiritwear Designs Coming Soon!

Show your team spirit with popular designs from the Caldwell Athletic Booster Club Spiritwear booth. The booth is open through halftime during home football games.

Just in...infant and toddler sizes, new men's designs and bling for the ladies! Look for selections at upcoming volleyball games and other sporting events.

All proceeds go back into the Caldwell Athletic Program at both the Middle School and High School to pay for travel expenses, uniforms, essential equipment and much more.

School Spirit: The Heart of the Swarm

Doesn’t our athletes’ willingness to fight make you proud to be a Hornet fan?

Last week the boys on the field had challenges but showed dedication and character by continuing to give it their all. And you can bet they, as well as the coaches, have been working all week to bring you their best this week.

Similarly, on the volleyball court this week the young ladies in orange and white went back and forth in a match that went into 5 sets, and the young athletes never gave up—in the end being victorious over Smithville.

Games may be won or lost on the field or court against very worthy opponents, but the character and dedication that our athletes at Caldwell High School possess are second to none. They are the reason why the Caldwell Athletic Booster Club continues to grow, with a whole host of volunteers that make everything we do possible.

So when you see them around town, tell them good job, shake their hands, pat them on their backs and let them know you are proud to wear Orange and White!

Hornet families and fans are the heartbeat of the Swarm...let’s "Bring the Sting!"

One "Wild Ride" for Caldwell Athletics

Local business owner Jim Cross of Bud Cross Ford presents Caldwell Athletic Director Kenneth Gilchrist with the keys to a 2012 F-150 FX2 Lariat crew cab truck outfitted in hues of orange, navy and white. The truck, which displays a hornet crashing through the sides, will be in Gilchrist's possession for the entire school year and will be a mainstay at Caldwell sporting events.

"We wanted to do something to show 100% support for the new athletic program at Caldwell ISD," says Cross. With my dad's background as a coach in Caldwell, it seemed fitting to make a big statement. I hope the community is as excited as we are about the program and the coming years."

Bud Cross Ford has supported Caldwell Athletics for decades and encourages other local businesses and residents to do the same. Caldwell Athletic Booster Club sponsorships and memberships are still available. Contact a board member or volunteer for more information.

Midnight Madness comes to Caldwell

A swarm will descend upon Hornet Field on Thursday, August 9 near the midnight hour. The pride of Caldwell, the Fightin' Caldwell Hornet Football Team will take the field during the very early morning hours of August 10 for a full-pad workout and scrimmage.

The entire community is invited to attend in support of the new football season and athletic program. Caldwell High School athletes began training this week for football, volleyball and cross country and are eager to begin competition.

"We are ready to take this program to a level that it has not seen before," says Caldwell Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Kenneth Gilchrist.

The Caldwell Athletic Booster Club will be on hand with membership information during Midnight Madness. Drastically-reduced spirit wear will be on sale, just in time for back-to-school.

Make every effort to attend and witness the unveiling of a new era in Hornet Sports...you won't want to miss it!
