SETTING THE SCENE: Milford’s boys volleyball team ends the regular season this week with two matches on the schedule. The postseason then begins, with a first round game with Princeton.
A LOOK BACK: Milford boys volleyball team celebrated their six seniors at the May 2nd home match with West Clermont. Kaleb Clemons, Sam Fisher, Alex Herbst, Dominick Serge, John Stavrakis, and Bret Woodrum took the win on their home court, 3-0. Milford won in straight sets 25-7, 25-12, 25-22.
The road was not kind, however, as Milford next headed to Princeton. The Eagles fell to the Vikings in three straight sets.
Despite a mid-match comeback, Milford fell in a tough road trip at Sycamore. Though the Aves won set one 20-25, the Eagles were back in the game with victories in the next two sets, 25-14 and 25-23. Sycamore evened the score with a 26-28 win in the fourth, and despite a game of back and forth, Milford fell in the final, 13-15.
