It all started in 1998 when Scott (Stork)
Montgomery's son Tyler began playing football for the Smyrna Youth Football League.
At that time, the standardization in announcing football games was done by whoever
would grab the microphone. Stork seeing the need, jumped at the chance and began
running the Public Address System for all games.
Jeff Childs was the president of
the League and let Stork have reins. He was asked to be the official announcer for
the Mid State Youth Football Championship in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
At start of the 2001 season Stork started filming
every game he announced
(and still does).
Daniel Childs was going in to his senior season in 2001 and talked
heavily to Stork about wanting to play football at the next level. He had seen Stork
put together highlight videos for his son’s team and asked about the difficulty
of making one video on him? The answer was "no problem."
Daniel was
the first of many to follow.
In 2002 Stork set a record for the most football
games called in a single season,
at it still stands today at 71 games. Players who have benfited from the Stork crafting
their talents and including being on this website have gone on to well-known colleges
such as Tennessee, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt. Other
colleges include Cason-Newman, Cumberland, Holmes Community, Lambuth, Maryville,
Itawamba Community, and Tusculum. Click

to read a feature article on The Stork from The Tennessean from back in 2004.
He has also filmed and accounced the amateur football games for the local
Nashville Storm
for the past few years.
Stork is not a recruiting analyst, but a
videographer whose focus is to put
high school athletes in position of being
viewed by college coaches in order to play at the next level regardless of sport (football
being the main focus).
He is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University with a BA in Public Relations and
a Minor in Media Sales.
Stork has so many to thank that helps support his passion. One of his main
passions to try to be the best husband to his wife Judy and the best dad to his children Tyler and Spencer. Questions? Email Stork at
