North Webster High School has hired Christopher Wilson as the new head coach for the Knights football program. Wilson will take over the reins starting with the 2024-25 season. 

 

The school will officially introduce Coach Wilson to the community at a public event on Tuesday, March 19th at 6:30 PM in the high school cafeteria. 

 

Wilson joins North Webster after serving as the offensive line/running back coach and head boys powerlifting coach at North DeSoto High School, where the Griffins had a successful 2023-24 campaign. 

 

Prior to North DeSoto, he had head coaching stints at Plain Dealing High School as well as assistant coaching positions at Mansfield, Booker T. Washington, and Green Oaks high schools.

 

“Coach Wilson comes highly recommended from each program he has been a part of,” said North Webster Principal Gabe Lyons. “We’re excited for the new energy and direction he will bring to our football team.” 

 

A graduate of Southern University with a degree in Social Studies Education, Wilson and his wife Lauren have four children – daughters Camryn (9), Hollis (7), and Lennox (5), and 1-year-old twin sons Cayson and Cadence. In his coaching philosophy, 

Wilson emphasizes building character, instilling values, promoting personal growth, academic excellence, and fostering a family atmosphere among athletes. 

 

The North Webster community is invited to attend the introduction event on March 19th to welcome Coach Wilson and his family.
