Each week throughout the school year, we’ll feature the student athletes nominated by their coaches as Eastern Cincinnati Conference Athletes of the Week. Congratulations to each award recipient!

Elle Campbell
Sophomore, Milford Cross Country
With her performance yesterday at the Lakota Fall Classic, Elle moved into the #1 all-time regular season spot for Milford Girls CC!

Henry Newman
Sophomore, Milford Cross Country
Henry opened his season with a fantastic performance at the Lakota East Fall Classic! Newman ran a PR of 16:27 and finished 13th in a competitive field. He has been working hard all summer, and there are big things ahead for this young man!

Whitney Sluder
Senior, Milford Soccer
Whitney scored against Kings Tuesday and then had a lights-out defensive game against Sycamore Saturday! She has been leading by example to our younger players.

Milford Football Trio
New returnees on offense and a defensive newcomer all played important roles in Milford's season-opening win over Edgewood. Senior QB Luke Brand picked up where he left off last fall, completing 17-of-22 passes for 264 yards and four touchdowns, while adding a fifth score rushing. His favorite target was classmate Caden Bailey who finished with 10 catches for 155 yards and three touchdowns. On defense, junior Jake Dixon made his first start at LB a good one, as he finished with nine tackles and his first career sack.
