1973 Monongah High state champs to be honored

Are you one? Or do you know how to contact any 1973 players?

 

Monia Jo Preolitti Thomas, my  Fazio family tree cousin, and Goldie Huffman are trying to contact as many members of the 1973 Monongah High state championship football team to honor them at the annual lamb roast, which will be August 1.

The 1973 team was among FIVE state football champs at Monongah High, beating South Harrison, 21-20. The others came in 1952, coached by Jim Feltz, when Monongah beat Winfield, 20-14; in 1955, with Feltz again the coach, when the Lions beat Wirt County, 14-13; and in 1968 and 1969, with Alabama football coach Nick Saban the 1968 quarterback, beating Paden City both years, 20-12 and 26-0.

 

Jim Feltz’ son, Jay Feltz, quarterbacked the 1973 team. Three on the 1973 MHS  team played together with the Monongah Pop Warner team for younger players: Jay Feltz, the Lions’ quarterback, Class of 1975; Jerry Koloskie, Class of 1975; and Mike DeMary, Class of 1974.

 

You can contact Monica or Goldie on their Facebook pages if you information about 1973 football players or if you are a 1973 MHS football player.

As for the photo of the Monongah Pop Warner players that were on the 1973 Lions state title team, I'm told they included Mike DeMary, Jay Pellilllo, Dave Vozniak, Jerry Koloski, Mike St. Clair, Brent Colvin, Mike Shipco, Kim Yanero, Randy Devores, Dave Serian, Kevin Rogers and Jim Manzo.
