Bronco Bytes October 11th
NEW TRADITION HONORS ALUM
Montini Catholic High School alumnus, Brian Forde '89 had the unique idea to commemorate the memory of his late friend and fellow Bronco football teammate, Brad Bumber '89, this past summer. Upon hearing about an opportunity to fund a locker in the Broncos newly renovated locker room, Forde wanted to do something more in remembrance of his beloved teammate. So, he initiated the plan to create 'Bumber's Corner Locker.' Montini Catholic student Brad Bumber '89 played linebacker for the Broncos from 1985 to 1989. He passed away on September 26, 2015 due to complications from his long battle with cancer. Thanks to Forde and his former Bronco teammates from the Class of 1989, each year, a Montini Catholic Bronco varsity football player will receive the honor to use the locker in Brad's honor. "Dedicating a football locker in his memory is the best way our class could think of to honor Brad's memory," said Forde. "The player chosen by his coaches to receive 'Bumber's Corner' each year should feel extremely honored to be recognized for demonstrating similar attributes and qualities as Brad, and for the privilege to play Montini Bronco Football under the banner of his name and memory."
