The Official Site of the Fighting Saints

Steven Helm III, a guard, averaged 16.1 points and 3.5 assists for a Valparaiso (Indiana) HS team that finished 20-7. He was a team MVP in 2016 and his team's leading scorer and earned all-conference in both basketball and track. He was named to the Northwest Indiana Times 2015-16 Boys Basketball All-Area Team, the Chicago Post-Tribune All-Area Second Team and to the Hoosier Basketball Top 60.
 
A member of the National Honor Society, he is very strong academically and is an Eagle Scout on top of his athletic achievements. Helm plans to major in Computer Science.
 
"Getting an Eagle Scout, academic force, and dynamic hooper to land on the Hilltop is awesome," Cunningham said. "In addition to having strong values, Steven can shoot the peach, put it on the deck, and defend. And he finished his career at Valparaiso HS -- a school known nationally for its historic shooting -- as the school's all-time leading Free Throw shooter by percentage. We're thrilled to call him a Fighting Saint." 

Helm is the son of former All-American and Frontier Conference MVP at MSU-Northern, Steve Helm Jr., currently the head women's coach at Calumet College. His mother, Kelly, played volleyball at BYU.
