As a King City kid, I played for Coach Militano in both Pop Warner and high school. As a young man, I am proud to say I was an assistant coach under Militano at both Soledad and Greenfield. At Soledad, back in 1999, he built the program from the ground up: a competitive and respected varsity team with zero seniors in it's first year...the school just opened. As both a player and assistant coach, from Coach Militano I learned the meaning of pride and the importance of a positive mental attitude, balanced with a healthy sense of humor.

What a great coach! He put me in the game against Gonzalez with an undefeated season on the line. He had confidence in his coaching and in me! I deflected 2 passes in the 4th qtr and I remember coach on the bottom of the dog pile when time expired! I'll never forget that moment!

His style of football was exciting high school football. His style was unique and did a lot for the program's he was involved in. Honor his name as one of the few to make a change and succeed.

Coach Militano was a special guy to a lot of kids in South County. I was lucky to have him as a coach from 7th grade through high school. He pushed me in both athletics and scholastics. I have a lot of respect for him and having his name attached to the jamboree would be honoring over two decades of kids who played under him through out south county. I know I'd be proud of it.

Played for him in high school along with several others back in the day in King City and also coached with him later on at Soledad. Glad to see and excited that Ronnie is putting this thing all together to really benefit the kids at all the schools!

I suggested this not long after coach Militano died. Glad you got the ball rolling, or should I say passing.
