Troy Montgomery, a 1979 graduate of Stow High School, played forward for the Pioneer soccer program from 1979-1982 and was one of the most prolific goal scorers to ever step foot on campus.
In his freshman season, Montgomery led the Pioneers to their first-ever winning record (8-4) in the 14-year history of the program, scoring a then school record 13 goals and handing out four assists on his way to being named a NAIA District 22 All-Star and earning the team's Best Offensive Player Award. Over the next two seasons, Montgomery helped the Pioneers to 23 wins while scoring 20 goals and dishing out 10 assists.
In his senior season in 1982, Malone won a school record 13 matches, a number that would be surpassed just three times in the next 37 years, all by Hall of Fame Coach Sherman Eberly's teams of the 1990's. Montgomery shared team-highs in goals (12) and assists (5) with fellow Malone Hall of Famer Phil Eades. He was selected All-MOC, First Team All-District, and Malone's Best Offensive Player.
In total, Montgomery finished his career with 45 goals scored, still the second-most in school history, 19 assists, and 109 points, also the second-most in Malone history. He remains the only Pioneer to ever score four goals in a game twice and he retains the single game goal-scoring record with five.
Montgomery graduated from Malone in 1983 with a Bachelor's in Business Administration and has worked as an Insurance Sales Rep for the past 34 years. Troy and his wife Ann (Baskin), a 1983 Malone alum, have three grown children: Megan Flaker (33), Mackenzie Miller (30), and Brooks Montgomery (21).
