From Kickoff to Final Whistle

By Kaia Costa

The Westmont football team had another memorable season for the 2026 school year. With incredible turnouts at major games, including Homecoming and the September 11 game, the Campbell community came together to cheer on the Warriors and watch these players shine under the Friday night lights.

Finishing the season with a 6-4 record, the Warriors defeated competitive teams like Independence High School in close-scoring games. Playing both sides of the ball, Westmont’s star receiver and safety Liam Keyser leads the team in receiving yards per game, sacks, interceptions, and a whopping 15 touchdowns this season alone. When asked about his most memorable moment from the season, quarterback Lucas Soliz says, “The Homecoming game because we had a good comeback and a lot of people came to the game.” This night was especially memorable for the Warriors because they were the only team to defeat Independence throughout this entire season!

Every athlete on the Westmont football team demonstrated months of dedication, from summer conditioning and early Saturday morning film sessions to countless hours spent on the field taking hit after hit—literally. These players and the rest of Westmont High School are grateful for a memorable season that is always fun to watch, and look forward to the next!
