Montana released this statement to News Channel 3… 
“It has been an honor and true blessing for me to have been a part of the lives of the Eureka Loggers Football family.  I have no regrets and have enjoyed each and every one of my sixteen seasons at Eureka High School.  Words cannot express how grateful I am for the hard work my players and coaches have put into the program.  As well, I have great appreciation for all who have supported our program in any way.  I want to express my gratitude for my wife, Kelley, for her support and hard work over the past several years.  For me, I am very excited about this new chapter in my life, one in which my wife and children will be the centerpiece.  I have every intention to return to coaching at some point in the future.”
