The Official Site of the Fighting Saints

John Good arrived on the Hilltop from Butte as a Mt. St. Charles High School freshman in the fall of 1923, where he played football and basketball for the Junior Saints. He started at quarterback all four years for the collegiate Saints, twice being selected a “unanimous choice for every mythical college all-state team,” including those from Montana State and the University of Montana. Good guided Mt. Saint Charles to back-to-back Montana College Conference championships, in 1927 and ’28.

John garnered nine letters at The Hilltop – four in football, three in track (as an outstanding sprinter and quarter-miler) and two as a guard on the basketball team. He also coached the prep hoops teams his junior and senior years. Among his school accolades were the Turnbull Activity Award (lettering in all three sports in the same year twice) and president of the Monogram Club. In 1930, John Good became the first Montanan to receive the Knights of Columbus council’s “boy guidance” scholarship to the University of Notre Dame.
