After 75 years, Varsity Football is Back at Monticello

During the past two years, Monticello Athletics Director Doug Murphy has worked side-by-side with football coach Matt Buddenhagen to build a football program from the ground up. It began in 2008 with a modified team. In 2009, they added JV. Now the determined duo has the chance to create a top-notch varsity line-up.

Football was once a popular sport in Monticello Schools, but was cut from the athletics program 75 years ago. With its re-emergence, district personnel believe it is the type of sport that can bring a community together and give students an alternative outlet. It can also help youngsters learn discipline and build camaraderie. MORE

Memorabilia sought for Monticello High School baseball history display

The Monticello High School Athletics Department is actively seeking donations of interesting, unusual and/or special items and artifacts to document and archive the rich history of baseball in Monticello Schools.

Items such as publications, photographs, newspaper articles, scorebooks, pennants, buttons, etc., are being sought as part of the quest to preserve this historical legacy.

“We want to honor the past and inspire the future,” said Monticello Panthers baseball coach, Mike Marra. “We’d like to display many of the artifacts and honor our alumni at the John Spear Memorial Baseball Tournament. We've evolved from our humble beginnings and our history continues to unfold - let's not lose the memories."

For more information or to make a donation, contact Coach Marra at 845-794-8840 ext. 10515 or via e-mail at mmarra@k12mcsd.net.

Please keep this in mind the next time you clean out your attic, basement, garage or closets and remember, one person's junk can be an archivist's treasure!
