Stella and Julie Angelucci in their Maryland home
CATCHING UP WITH
181homes for Julie Angelucci

Julie Angelucci, who threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Dennis Jones that won the 1952 state football title for Monongah High, the Lions’ first, owns 181 homes in Maryland.

180 are the miniature houses that some of us put out for the Christmas holiday season. The 181st home is their residence at 277 Oak Court in Severna Park, Maryland.

Julie was a teacher in the Anne Arundel County school system in Maryland. They moved from Glen Burnie, Maryland, where they lived from 1992 to 2012, to Severna Park.

Julie and his wife of 26 years, Stella Kootsikas Angelucci, love to show off their holiday decorated house. Angelucci is Italian for “Light of the Angels.”

Julie certainly lit up Winfield in 1952 with his pass to Dennis Jones, which Dennis lateraled to Larry Rankin for the 20-14 victory over Winfield.

Larry and too many of the players on that team, and head coach Jim Feltz and Earl Keener, are deceased.

Feltz coached another MHS state champion team in 1955 and Keener was the head coach for the 1968 and 1969 Lions title teams. The 5th and final state football title was quarterbacked by Jay Feltz, Jim’s son.

Dennis played football for West Virginia three years and retired as a major general in the U.S. Army. He lives in Brentwood, Tennessee.

Jay played for the University of South Carolina, where he still holds the Gamecocks record for the longest punt (79 yards!). He coached high school football in South Carolina for decades and still lives in the state.

Juanita McNece Angelucci, Class of 1956, once was married to Julie.

Frances Angelucci Fontana, Class of 1949, married Donald Fontana.

Angelucci Trucking was in Marion County for three decades till it was dissolved by Mark and Michael Angelucci in 1986.

Long-time Farmington mayor, Buck Markley, and Patsy Colisino, once worked for Angelucci Trucking, Patsy for 30 years.

North Marion and WVU graduate Michael Angelucci’s grandfather is Julie’s brother. Michael lives in Farmington.

Mark is with the Fairmont Fire Department and a Fairmont State graduate married to Kathy Byard Angelucci.

If  you want to phone Julie, Class of 1953, and catch up on your Monongah High days with him, his number is (410) 647-9496.

Other Angeluccis who graduated from Monongah High:

Joseph Angelucci, Class of 1947, a retired process server.

Mark Angelucci, 1984 North Marion grad.

Veronica Angelucci Allowatt, Class of 1940.

Virginia Angelucci Moore, 1980 North Marion grad.
