The Caldwell High School girls basketball team has reached the NJSIAA Group 2 state semifinals, led by head coach Amanda Keenan and her daughter Addison Keenan, the team's star point guard. Caldwell won its first sectional title in 30 years last week and will face Glen Rock on Tuesday with a berth in the state championship game on the line. The team is known for its relentless full-court pressure defense that has forced opponents into numerous turnovers.
Why it matters
Caldwell's girls basketball program has been searching for its second state sectional title since winning its first in 1996. This year's team, led by the Keenan duo and a talented supporting cast, has a chance to make history and bring home the school's first state championship in three decades.
The details
Caldwell's run to the state semifinals has been fueled by its stifling defense, which has forced opponents into an average of 17.4 turnovers per game. The team is led by point guard Addison Keenan, who averages 18.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.1 steals and 4.1 assists per game. She is complemented by senior Tea Fiore, who scores 17 points per game, and sophomore Fallon Fiore, who has over 100 steals on the season. Caldwell's up-tempo, pressing style has overwhelmed most opponents, though the team did suffer a loss to University in the county tournament semifinals due to a lack of size inside.
- Caldwell won the NJSIAA North 2, Group 2 championship on March 3, 2026.
- Caldwell will face Glen Rock in the NJSIAA Group 2 state semifinals on March 11, 2026 at 7 p.m. in Bloomfield.
