Rosa Montejano

Montejano blossomed as a dominant basketball player for North Salinas High in the 1988-89 season. She averaged 32 points and nearly 20 rebounds per game. That season, the Vikings snapped two lengthy streaks: Southern California power La Quinta’s 78-game home-court win streak and King City’s 58-game home-court streak. While taking North Salinas to a 29-2 record in 1989, Montejano was MVP of the elite LaQuinta Holiday Tournament and was also MVP of the Monterey Bay League for the second year in a row. At Henderson State College, she was a dominating volleyball player. She was MVP of the Gulf South Conference twice and in both years was named to the NCAA All-Region squad while also qualifying for All-American honors. Montejano was the GSC Player of the Year in 1996. In 1994, she tallied 197 solo blocks for Henderson State, which led to a school career-best 336 blocks. In 2007, Montejano was inducted into the Henderson State Hall of Fame.
