Journal & Topics, August 14, 2019
Billy Montemayor is moving up from assistant to head baseball coach at Buffalo Grove, the school announced Thursday, Aug. 1. “It is really exciting and I was happy to get the news,” Montemayor said after being hired. “I’m excited for the next season to begin. When I got into coaching, it was always something I dreamt of possibly achieving someday. I am excited for the new journey.” Montemayor is from Elk Grove Village and is an Elk Grove High School graduate. He played college baseball at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines for a season, before transferring to Parkland College, but he didn’t play at his second school. Montemayor figured he missed the game too much and transferred to Carthage College for his final two years. Read Story
