Montano won the New England outdoor title with a throw of 59 feet, 21/2 inches at the University of New Hampshire.

In March, he won the New England indoor championship in Boston, at 55-10.

An English teacher at Falmouth High, Paul has coached for 40 years and recently became a grandfather.

Also, James Coffey, Falmouth’s athletic director, will coach softball. For the past two years, Falmouth and the former Maine Girls’ Academy had a co-op team.
