What Are the Southmont Mounties and Where Can You Follow Them?
Updated
The Southmont Mounties are the high school athletic teams of Southmont High School in Montgomery County, Indiana. They are one of the local sports programs covered by the Journal Review, the newspaper serving Crawfordsville and the surrounding Montgomery County area. If you want to follow their games, scores, and team news, the Journal Review sports section is the primary local source, with a dedicated "Southmont Mounties" listing alongside other area schools.
What the Southmont Mounties Are
The Mounties are the athletic identity for Southmont High School. In the Journal Review's sports navigation, "Southmont Mounties" appears as its own category, grouped with other local teams the paper tracks:
- Crawfordsville Athenians
- North Montgomery Chargers
- Southmont Mounties
- Fountain Central Mustangs
- Wabash College Little Giants
This grouping tells you the Mounties are treated as a core part of the paper's high school sports coverage, not a one-off mention. The same sports section also includes a "Senior Spotlight" feature, which typically highlights individual athletes.
Sports and seasons
The source material confirms the Mounties exist as a covered team category but does not list specific sports or schedules. In Indiana high school athletics, a school's team lineup usually varies by season (fall, winter, spring), so the exact sports and game dates for Southmont are best confirmed through the paper's current sports pages rather than assumed.
Where to Follow the Southmont Mounties
On the Journal Review website
The most direct route is the Journal Review sports section, where "Southmont Mounties" is listed as a category. From there you can expect to find game coverage, results, and team features as they are published.
The site also offers several ways to stay current:
- Sports category pages — browse the Southmont Mounties listing for team-specific stories.
- Senior Spotlight — profiles of standout local athletes, which can include Mounties players.
- E-Editions — digital replicas of the print paper, useful if you want the full sports page layout.
- Subscribe — the site has a subscription option at journalreview.com/subscribe, and several content areas are marked "premium," so some stories may sit behind a subscription.
What to check before relying on a single page
Because sports coverage changes with each season, verify the following when you visit:
- The date on the page — the site shows a current date at the top, so confirm you are reading current-season content.
- Whether the story is premium — premium sections are labeled, and access may require a subscription.
- Whether the sport you want is covered — not every sport may have a dedicated article in a given week.
Telling the Mounties Apart from Other Local Teams
Montgomery County has several high school programs, and they are easy to confuse. Use this quick reference:
| Team | School / Program |
|---|---|
| Southmont Mounties | Southmont High School |
| Crawfordsville Athenians | Crawfordsville High School |
| North Montgomery Chargers | North Montgomery High School |
| Fountain Central Mustangs | Fountain Central High School |
| Wabash College Little Giants | Wabash College (collegiate) |
If you are looking specifically for Southmont coverage, make sure the headline or category says "Southmont Mounties" rather than one of the other schools.
Practical Tips for Following the Team
- Start at the Journal Review sports section and select the Southmont Mounties category.
- Bookmark the sports page rather than a single article, since coverage updates through the season.
- If you hit a premium label, check the subscribe page for access options.
- For print-style reading, use the E-Editions link.
- To submit news or tips, the site lists a "Submit News" service, which can be useful for community updates about the team.
The key takeaway: the Southmont Mounties are Southmont High School's athletic teams, and the Journal Review is the local outlet that carries their coverage under a dedicated sports category.
