Of the nine Eagles, four earned second team honors. The recognized student-athletes were also included among the best in the coverage area of the Milford-Miami Advertiser.
Freshman Tyler Babinec was recognized for his performance as a member of Milford’s swim team this winter. In his first year of high school competition, Babinec was a star, placing 13th in the state in the 100 breaststroke and scoring Milford’s first-ever individual district championship with a win in the 50 freestyle. He was also the Eastern Cincinnati Conference Champion in both the 50 free and 100 breaststroke.
From the boys bowling team, junior Noah Dolezal was honored after helping the Eagles advance to the Division I District Championship and a runner-up finish at sectionals. Dolezal set a school record for a three-game series with a combined score of 711 and was an All-ECC first team performer.
