Chesterton girls - Departing Coach Jack Campbell
CHESTERTON, Ind. -- (Updated 2/7) After nearly four decades at the helm of the Chesterton girls, Hall of Fame Coach Jack Campbell has resigned. AD Jeff Hamstra reportedly will post opening later this week or early next. Intvs will take place in March, and hiring date set for sometime in April. Last year’s Trojans finished 16-8, and Chesterton Trib reports three sophs started by the end of the season. The Trojans are members of the always tough Duneland Conference:LaPorte, Portage, Michigan City, Valpo, Lake Central, Merrillville, and Crown Point. Aside from 5-6 yearly W’s, the schedule is a tough one. Teaching areas are tough at this point given the timing, but MS openings include SS, English, Science, and Math. The same four areas are also open in the high school, but it is hard to tell if those will factor into hiring for the coaching job. Former Portage coach and current CHS JV coach Marc Bruner being mentioned as early front runner. Good Varsity Club member reports JV solid and both 7th and 7th grade squads are winners. Good numbers all the way through the program.
