Coral Springs Charter softball coach picks up 500th career win
Mark Montimurro reached a milestone coaching victory when his Coral Springs Charter School softball team downed Monarch, 11-1, on March 4. It was his 500th career win in his 23 years as a head coach.
“It just means that I have been around a long time and been able to work with a lot of outstanding players throughout the years,” said Montimurr, whose record is 505-104, including 9-1 this season. He said winning the first state championship at Hollywood Christian in 2003 was probably his most memorable win.
Montimurro has won seven state high school championships with Hollywood Christian (2003, 2004) and five straight titles at Coral Springs Charter (2015-2019). They were gunning for a record sixth straight title with a 6-1 mark in 2020 before COVID-19 ended the season abruptly.
Coral Springs Charter School senior Bridget Dunham said Montimurro deserves the recognition.
The Panthers are off to a 9-1 start this season with the lone loss coming at the hands of West Broward in the second game of the season. He said he believes they have a shot at winning a sixth straight title this year.
“If (junior pitcher) Brianna Godfrey has her A-game, and we are opportunistic offensively,” Montimurro said. “And we play the way we are capable of playing defensively, we can do it. Everything is going to have to go right for them.”
