He grew up in the Pine Hills subdivision in Springhill. He played on the 1953 state championship Springhill High School football team. John David Crow, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1957 at Texas AampM University and then had a tenyear professional career with the Chicago and St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers, lived next door to Montgomery and also played on the 1953 championship team. Montgomerys father played on the Bastrop High School championship team in Bastrop in Morehouse Parish in 1927, and Montgomerys son, John, Jr. , played football for Minden High School but graduated the year before the team won the state championship in 1982.
