FROM TECH TO TURF
Football isn’t the only business our majority owner has going on.
One of the businesses he owns is a successful computer and phone repair franchise with a retail partnership with Walmart.
Apparently owning a tech franchise wasn’t keeping him busy enough. 😂
Different world. Same owner. And we’re excited to see what he brings to the Catfish.
Interviews are still ongoing as we build the team. You’ll get to meet the players, coaches and staff at Media Day. Date coming soon. Can’t wait to introduce you to the people behind the Catfish.
Keep up with our timeline on our website.

Welcome to the league, Tri-City Horsemen!
We’ve had the opportunity to get to know the ownership group, and we’re excited to have them join us. Great people, great ownership, and a great organization.
We’re looking forward to building together, competing together, and growing the league together.
Welcome to the family, Horsemen.

We sat down today to figure out what to post…
Player signing announcement? Nope.
Highlight video? Nope.
Game clips? Definitely nope. 😂
So here we are.
Give us a little time. Soon this page will look a lot different.
Until then, keep updated here: https://montgomerycatfish.com

A lot goes into building the right opportunity for players.
We’re in the final stages of completing the 2027 Player Opportunity Guide and making sure the important details are covered before it’s released ahead of tryouts.
We’re wrapping up the Player Care & Support section by confirming the final details, and later this month we’ll be working with our coaching staff to outline how players will be evaluated, what to expect during tryouts, and what the next steps look like afterward.
We’re checking every box before this goes out… yes, even the ones that don’t make for an exciting Facebook post. 😂
Our goal is simple: when players choose Montgomery, they know exactly what they’re joining.
Almost time to hit send.

Taking a quick break from our long weekend…
Hard to believe it’s already been a week since we reeled in our biggest catch yet. 🎣 😉
Coach Julius Gregory was officially announced as our head coach for the Montgomery Catfish and we couldn’t be happier to have him leading the way.
When we asked Coach to put his vision into words, he didn’t disappoint.
We’re attaching the letter he wrote so you can read it for yourself and get a look at the type of culture and program he wants to build here in Montgomery.
The vision is clear. Now it’s time to bring it to life.
