Guess who's going to DLS
Two years after its national-record 151-game winning streak ended, De La Salle High School has officially become home to football royalty.
Nathaniel and Nicholas Montana, the sons of immortal 49ers quarterback Joe Montana, have been admitted to the Concord school for the 2006-07 school year.
Joe Montana, his wife, Jennifer, and their four children (their two daughters attend Notre Dame, where he launched his football career) have lived in Calistoga in recent years, where Joe dabbled in winemaking and cutting-horse competitions. The family now reportedly is looking to buy a home in Contra Costa County so Joe can be closer to his business interests in the Bay Area.
"It makes sense to me," said De La Salle defensive coordinator Terry Eidson.
"They went to Cardinal Newman, a Catholic school, and now they're moving here, and we're the only Catholic school in the area."
Montana's oldest son, Nathaniel, 16, played junior varsity football and basketball at Cardinal Newman High in Santa Rosa last year but may play only basketball for the Spartans. He will be a junior this season.
Nicholas, 14, is expected to play basketball and football at De La Salle.
Both Montana boys play quarterback, as did their Hall of Fame father.
"They are just a great family," Pat Fitzgerald, basketball coach at Cardinal Newman, said of the Montanas. "He just wants to be like any of the other dads and support his sons. He's pretty mellow and doesn't want attention."
This is not the first child of a Hall of Fame athlete to attend De La Salle. NBA players Jon and Brent Barry, sons of former Warriors great Rick Barry, attended the school in the late 1980s..
"I understand their dad's name, but we're going to be teaching and coaching his sons, and it's important they have their own identity," Eidson said.
