Very impressed with Monteroso. This kid is going to keep getting better and will be an all-timer for the Red Devils.

I have to agree DONNI3YEAGS. The kid has the rare ability to take over a game on his own...a trait usually reserved for a senior. I had to keep pinching myself last year to remind myself...he's only a freshman...WOW. He set the all-time freshman scoring record at St.C., no...he oblitated the all-time record by almost doubling it. As long as he remains focused, is injury free and continues to improve...the sky is the limit.

Park has two 1st team players coming back with alot of other talent ready to go.......Get to the Palace next season....it's going to be a "jam fest".

Well put Jay...and I will add that alot of kids DO go away to school...but for whatever reason, end up back at home. In most cases, they were not mature enough for the "major college experience". Staying at home and getting at least their first two years at a branch, community or technical college saves money...and in my eyes even more important...gives them the time to mature to the point they are ready to handle a major college experience. I've spent over 25 years in higher education at both a major university and a local techincal college and can say without question that 50% of all students who "go away" to college, will never graduate from that institution. Colleges like OUE, Belmont Technical, WV-Northern, Gateway, etc. provide an inexpensive, great education with small classes and alot of one-on-one attention with dedicated faculty.

I agree, I just finished my first year of college and stayed on campus. Did not do as well as I should, mainly because I didn't know how to study, balance my time, and living on my own was different. Now don't get me wrong, living in a dorm is a GREAT experience, I gained so many new friends that I can't wait to see next year (going to school from home this year, live close enough) and you will have great times, but some people just aren't ready for it, I was one of those people.

Back to the main purpose of this thread,
I have not gotten to see Monteroso play yet, but I would like to because I have heard great things.
