With a dynamic new coach at the helm, the Westminster High School football program begins a new era on August 28 with its season opener against South High School at Memorial Stadium. Fans will be watching not just the scoreboard, but what’s happening on the sideline. 

Coach Chris Helbig is a former standout from nearby Holy Family High School who went on to play professionally in NFL Europe. Now back in Westminster, Helbig says his goal is to have his student athletes winning both on and off the field.  

“This isn’t just about football,” Helbig said in a recent interview. “This is about helping young people grow into responsible, resilient adults. Football is just the vehicle. I wake up every day excited to come here at 6:00 AM because I get to build relationships with these guys.”
