Football Dynamic debut Monticello starts football anew after 73 years with a big win over Sullivan West By RICHARD A. ROSS MONTICELLO, NY — Panther football is back. Bigger news yet is that Monticello won its season-opening football game against Sullivan West by the score of 38-22. It was the first football game played by a Monticello team since 1935. Money was tight back then and the school board elected to put its bucks behind other sports. In the fall of 2007, Monticello athletic director Doug Murphy made an impassioned plea to the Monticello Board of Education to bring Monticello football back. Murphy’s plan was sound and the board approved it and hired Matt Buddenhagen, who headed up Cornwall’s championship team two years back and who created the spread offense that Sullivan West still deploys the season after his departure from there. The team will play at the junior varsity level in 2009 and at the varsity level in 2010. Shane Jackson led the Panthers with two rushing TDs. He opened the game by throwing a 65-yard TD pass to Sean Reuss. Sullivan West’s E,J. Franskevicz scored three times for Sullivan West. Visit riverreportersports.com for an album of photos. |
