I d feel weird calling him  dad . He rides me harder than anybody. Monty s dad, Doug Beisel, is the head football coach at Douglass High School.  My dad makes an example out of me, Monty continued.  One day I smarted off to him in track. He told me I had to run two miles in 12 minutes or I couldn t go to regionals. <br>Monty did it in 11:59.  We laugh about it now Monty said.  I m glad my dad pushed me as hard as he did. It paid off. We are very close. He s the one I usually go to when I have a decision to make.<br> My mom was a volleyball player at Kansas State. She s been a tremendous supporter of me. Without my parents, there is no way I could have accomplished what I have. <br>Monty has three rules on being successful: work, work and work.  Never give up, he advised.  Keep going, keep striving, for the goals you set. <br>Finally, Monty reflected on his home and family.  I can t envision kids being in gangs or coming home to people who don t care. I feel fortunate to have my family and to live in a small town in Kansas. I know it s been a sheltered life so far, but I see it as having been a plus. <br>We thank Monty and his family for being such a great Upper Limit example and wish him our best in what should be a wonderful future.>E]>=Kq$QU"ujf+zTcb` 1ڢR*2ԙjϢ%w< zu4CenOZNIގ /z)isGRN :ջ[j:0ȫnk8S<<8k~:ҮzV0x)+0%slpz19ԯh|CxzMx*U*(85w|; L'-J&NipsUwHlxnK$p:d^m&@'M[Zt+yU8Ϧj-LǫxU ~[w$n=V_G)qaUfX[1Qf4t,G> Vː94Go񬰆>9*'<5Qf W)>ѱh䊳jL<+Rd@,`2 ?Jm&E> ʮ "].Fw1d /*4'ͱ"Y`?TqCcG4&TʷOpj֧0jGXcd:?ԔK8O.F-U>.1K*r?t0=s҈V.-b%uDfnQ 3[mw̃ǽ2aӎT/0:?dh[o wgm:N rA0ҭt\QMMlL2,ShW?VK ֒/Re]O+*T]pZN" "1E]կg󊔌3Ҋ"bU>@8(uchC8`9y'@9 zE4&90r1ϭ?|u֊*,zO#޵l+Y#F\(8<;EiVSI5bX%P͵*8 zTe;,;?Z(ficLmK(}7t4QSi HYA'(WtM=21nyD[-Whv!h[$w#E$Q=9qS%I|E&*zaYms}y)?t><STRONG>2:</STRONG> Olympic Gold Medals won.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>3:</STRONG> Children: Kadee Lynn, Kylee Ann, and Karl Jr. </P> <P align=left><STRONG>$4,500,000:</STRONG> Malone's salary.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>3: </STRONG>Class C Louisiana State Championships won while Karl plaed for Summerfield High School 979-80-81.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>9:</STRNG> Second youngest of nine children, Karl first started shooting baskets when his mother fashioned a hoop by cutting the metal rim off a water barrel.</P> <P ali He doesn t smoke, chew or do drugs.  You can find that stuff, Ben says.  I ve just never wanted to try it. Ben carries a 3.2 GPA. He is never lateto class. In fact, one of his traits is that he is always early. Ben has missed zero tests.<br> I don t miss things, says Ben.  You have to pay attention to time management. I have a day planner type of calendar. Besides, I really like my classes, especially math and my major. Ben will graduate in Civil Engineering and, after whatever happens in pro football, wants to manage construction projects. <br>Karon did not lft weights at Martin Luther Kig High School in Detrot.  Because, says Karon,  I was always in sports. I played three sports and I was naturally trong. Karon was All-State in both football and basketball. He also ran a 10.8 100 meters at 210 pounds. Karon carried a 3.65 GPA.<br>Karon never did drugs or drank alcohol in high school.  Never, exclaimed Karon!  I was petrified. I was scared to drink. A lot of my friends did. I was usually the mediator. Detroit is not a good place not to be sober. My ucle was a olice officer and I learned that it was just not worth it. <br>Being in the  hood was part of Karon s everyday life while growing up. He gives the following advice to survive:  First, be ware and be smart.
