WOLFFORTH, Texas (KCBD) – Frenship ISD announced the selection of Chris Roberts as the new Frenship High School girls athletic coordinator and girls basketball head coach. Roberts will officially take on the roles pending school board approval in May.
Roberts is entering his 20th year of coaching with eight years of experience as a head coach in girls’ athletics. Nearly half of his coaching career has been spent at Frenship, helping lead student athletes to multiple district championships and playoff wins.
He has served as the FHS boys varsity basketball assistant coach for six years and held other coaching positions including FHS volleyball assistant coach, FHS track coach and Heritage Middle School girls athletic coordinator.
Roberts will replace Trent Hilliard, who is retiring at the end of this school year after 35 years of coaching, with 12 of those as the FHS girls basketball head coach and girls athletic coordinator.
“Trent has done an amazing job, and I wish him the best in his next adventure,” Roberts said. “I could not be more excited to continue the tradition of excellence with the girls’ basketball program and the girls’ athletic program as a whole.”
In addition to the head coaching position, Roberts will oversee and support all FHS girls sports as the girls athletic coordinator.
“I want our Frenship families to know that I am going to work hard to bring out the best of these girls on the court,” Roberts said. “I will work with all our great coaches to ensure the best environment for all our student athletes.”
Roberts received his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology at Lubbock Christian University, where he played basketball in the NAIA Division I conference from 1999 to 2003. He later earned his master’s degree in sports administration at Arkansas State University.
Roberts and his wife, Kathy, a Frenship special education teacher, have four children: Riley, a 2021 FHS graduate; Reagan, a 2024 FHS graduate; Reese, a current FHS junior; and Hunter, a Frenship Middle School seventh grader.
