EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Montini Catholic Broncos
Montini Catholic and veteran head coach Mike Bukovsky is coming off a solid 9-3 season in 2023 as the Broncos lost a close game to eventual 3A state champion Byron in the 3A semifinals. The Broncos under Mike Bukovsky has posted an overall record of 44-28 in seven seasons and has made the IHSA state playoffs in 4 of those 6 playoff eligible seasons.
The biggest question facing Montini Catholic this summer?
Can the Broncos take those next big few steps, return to glory and capture a 3A state title on 2024? Montini has a ton of experience back and in all honesty was one of the few schools who made 2023 state champion Byron play a full four quarters last fall. The Broncos first need to survive the CCL/ESCC slate and get into the post-season and that in several ways could be as hard as any team they could face early on in the 3A state playoff field. Montini no question is a team on the rise this fall.
