Westminster will be under a new head coach for the first time since 1992. After the 2024 season, legendary head coach Gerry Romberg retired following 33 years at the helm of the Wildcat program. In his storied tenure, Romberg led Westminster to one state championship and seven region titles, cementing his legacy as one of the most respected high school football coaches in Georgial. He will be replaced by Nelson Stewart, who comes to Westminster after 19 seasons leading his alma mater, Isidore Newman in New Orleans. Stewart is best known for coaching 5-star quarterback Arch Manning and helping develop him into the top quarterback in the country.
Westminster competes in one of the toughest regions in Class 4A, which includes traditional powers Kell and Blessed Trinity, a rising program in Cambridge, and a strong Centennial squad. In addition to the difficult region schedule, the Wildcats face an extremely challenging non-region slate. They’ll open the season against traditional rival Lovett, a matchup that has been highly competitive, with the series split 6-4 over the past decade. They’ll close out non-region play against fellow 4A private school power Benedictine. The Cadets are among the top programs in Georgia, winning four state championships since 2014. Benedictine will be led on offense by 3-star quarterback and Texas Tech commit Stephen Cannon. On defense, they boast the top player in the Class of 2027, 5-star edge rusher LaDamion Guyton, who will present a major challenge for Westminster’s offensive line.
