by With no intent of slowing down, there is only one direction for underclassman James Monte to go; straight towards the finish line. With an impressive collection of victories tacked to his record, there is no doubt that the next three years are sure to be one for the books. There is a lot left untapped in Monte, and once engaged, there will be no stopping what the young star will set his mind to do.
And he won’t be alone. With the attention of his coaches, the support of his teammates, and the pride of his community, this is an experience that won’t be forgotten by any. A hometown send off made certain of this, a proper escort awaiting the departing athletes as they walked out of the school, seeing them through town in an array of sirens, lights, and heartfelt cheers.
“That was awesome,” Monte said. “It was so nice of them to do that. I didn’t know they were doing it until they got there, and it was great! The community had our back.”
