I am pleased and honored to announce that prep sports reporter John Montgomery is coming out of retirement and will be contributing stories to jacklydon.com during the upcoming high school sports season.
John began writing sports articles very young in 1978. He had stints at the Leader Newspapers, Learner Newspapers, Chicago Sun Times, Southtown Economist, Chicago Tribune and Chicago Bulldog Media. He has been layed up in recent years with some health issues but is coming off the DL and getting back in the game with jacklydon.com.
John is a 2004 inductee into the Chicago Public League Hall of Fame and a 2005 inductee into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame. Few people have as much experience reporting in Chicago area high school sports.
His first contribution will be a story on the reopening of Hanson Stadium beginning this football season. Look for that later today.
