An exciting win (20-14) in overtime against Governor’s Academy continued varsity football’s undefeated season (5-0). Last Saturday, wide receiver and defense back Mitchell Gosner ‘20 blocked a field goal to tie up the game and then scored the winning touchdown, catching a stellar throw from quarterback Jake Willcox ‘20.
Before the game, Head Coach Kevin MacDonald anticipated that this would be the most challenging game of the season so far. “We are a pretty well-rounded team. Usually a high school team will have at least one glaring weakness. But, we are playing other teams that are also well-rounded and loaded with talent.”
Before the Governor’s game, Milton’s biggest win came against St. Sebastian’s (34-21), always a solid team and tough competitor. There are three more regular games of the season, including the Milton-Nobles game. Coach Mac said one of the team’s goals is to make the NEPSAC (New England Preparatory School Athletic Council) championship game.
Coach Mac said the team has great leadership in the two captains, Jake and Kalel Mullings ‘20, who was just selected to play in the All American Bowl game. Many of the seniors will go on to play college football, but for now they are focused on continuing their exciting winning season.
