Montrose joined the Genesee Area Conference (originally known as the Genesee 8 Conference) as a charter member in 1978 from the now defunct Mid-Eastern 8 Conference. Since the league's inaugural season, Montrose has been successfulin football and wrestling, winning numerous conference, district, regional and state championships in boys' and girls' athletic sports.
Montrose has one of the top high school American football programs in Genesee County.
At the end of the 2010 season, The Rams had amassed a record of 393-183-6 since 1950, with a winning percentage of .681. Over this 62 year period, the Rams have won or shared 39 conference titles.
Beginning in 1979, the Rams won 25 Genesee Area Conference titles in football, including 17 consecutive championships from 1988 through 2004. It was during this era that the Rams won two MHSAA state football championships. The first of these two state titles came in 1998 when Montrose defeated the Wittemore-Proscott Cardinals 24-14 in the Class "C" title game held at the Pontiac Siverdome. Montrose again captured the Division "5" state football crown in 2002 by defeating Constantine 14-0 to cap and undefeated 14-0 campaign.[6]
Including their two state titles, Montrose has appeared in the MHSAA state football playoffs 18 times between 1980 and 2010.
The book No Quitters Here: Quest for the Dome by B.M. Woodward discusses the Montrose High School football team's ten-year winning streak from 1988-1998.
Along with its success in football, Montrose also enjoys a tradition of wrestling championships. The Rams have won ten MHSAA team wrestling championships between 1975 and 2005.
The Rams have also won many GAC, district and regional championships.
Their run ended after the 2006 season when their coach was found to have been recruiting athletes. Since that happened, they have faded into wrestling oblivion, never to be seen again.
