2022 Snapshot: Gamble Montessori

Gamble Montessori OL/DL Desmond Davis

They got a taste of the good life at Gamble Montessori last fall. The Gators made the playoffs for the first time in program history. Now they are hungry for even more success.

“If we are lucky to be injury free, we will definitely compete for the CMAC Blue title,” head coach Robert Rachel states.

Gamble Montessori will keep it on the ground in the Double Wing-T offensive scheme. The Gators will have the athletes to run it to perfection.

If they are to achieve their lofty goals this season, Gamble will have to play at a much higher level against upper echelon teams. They must put points on the scoreboard and figure out a way to keeps those top squads out of the end zone.

The schedule is conducive to having a big campaign. The combined 2021 record of the teams on the Gators schedule was 30-50 (.375 winning %). Take care of business against the schools they are supposed to beat and Gamble Montessori will find itself back in the playoffs and quite possibly set the school record for wins in a season.

Division VI, Region 24
2021 RECORD: 6-3, 3-1 CMAC Blue
COACH: Robert Rachel (21-33 at Gamble Montessori, six years; 21-33 overall)
