SETTING THE SCENE: As the regular season starts winding to a close, the Milford boys volleyball team will celebrate six players this week at the last home match of their senior season: Kaleb Clemons, Sam Fisher, Alex Herbst, Dominick Serge, John Stavrakis, and Bret Woodrum. The Eagles then look toward three away games to end the week.
A LOOK BACK: Milford kept their win streak going, as they took to the road on Mon., 4/25 at Lakota West. The boys squad won a thriller, and their third match in a row, 3-2. The Eagles won the fifth set 16-14.
The Eagles then tried to keep the stretch going Thurs., 4/28, and even the series when they headed to meet the Tigers of Loveland. Though Milford won an exciting and spirited first 25-22, Loveland proved too much again and took the remaining sets 18-25, 20-25, 21-25.
THE WEEK AHEAD: Milford has a full slate this week, including the home date on Mon., 5/2 when the team and fans will also celebrate senior night. The rest of the week the Eagles will be on the road.
