Posted: 10-8-2012 Montague to honor ‘92 runners-up Friday
Pat Collins, quarterback for the 1992 Montague football team, holds the 1992 runner-up trophy and a football signed by that year’s team. A reunion is planned for Friday night.
Montague Head Football Coach Pat Collins says he still has not watched the entire video of the 1992 Class CC state championship game when he and his Wildcat teammates lost a hard -ought 12-7 decision to a powerful Detroit St. Martin dePorres squad in the spacious Pontiac Silverdome.
It was a milestone for Montague football, which did have unbeaten teams in the previous two decades (1972 and 1984), but had not appeared in the state playoffs, which began in 1975.
