Friday, December 14, 2007ARIZONA RECORD HOLDER COMMITS TO GRIZZLY BASKETBALL PROGRAM
ALAMOSA, Colo.— Adams State College men’s basketball coach Mark Murdock announced that Porter Caldwell, formerly of Snowflake (Ariz.) High School, has signed a letter of intent to play for the Grizzlies starting next year.
Caldwell, a 6-foot-1, 185 pound guard averaged 27 points per game as a SHS senior and 24 points as a junior for the Lobos in 2003 before going on a 2-year church mission to Chile. Upon his return, Caldwell has attended Scottsdale Community College and now Arizona State University but did not play basketball at either.
He will have three seasons of eligibility at ASC.
While in high school, Caldwell set the Arizona Class 3A state records, which still remain intact, for single-season and career scoring as he tallied 958 points in 2003 to cap his 2,484-point career. He also still holds the all-classification record for career 3-pointers (153).
A 3-time all-conference selection for coach Shane Brimhall’s Lobos, Caldwell was named to the all-state team while earning conference MVP honors in 2003. He was also a 2-time all-conference football player earning 3A East Conference MVP honors in 2001.
Caldwell, who is married to Domini, plans to major in biology with a minor in agri-business.
He is the middle of five children born to Mark and Marsha Caldwell. Sister Misti, 20, is currently playing basketball at Eastern Arizona College.

That is fantastic! It's great to have someone else toot the horn, because Porter is too humble to do it himself. Congrats again!
