A Fitting Continuence

Last night we were privileged to witness the honoring of some local high school coaches. That the husband of the married team was a coach of mine, then coaching mentor and colleague makes it special. Bruce and Alana Montgomery, after 30 plus years of coaching water polo, swimming, diving and volleyball at EUHS, received the honor of naming the swimming pool after them.

I was on the first water polo team Bruce coached and was lucky and unfortunate to play goalie as he did. I learned what intensity really was during my two year playing for Bruce. And it made a difference.

Try this for a Bucket List of goals. Having coached from 1973 to today they have between them and together: 65 League Titles (46 varsity and 19 JV), and 9 section titles. There were at least 10 individual section champions they have coached in that time.

It has been a privilege to learn from them.
