Over the past thirteen years, Milton Academy football has enjoyed the best winning percentage of any ISL team with a 71-24-3 (75%) record including two undefeated, league championships and six second place finishes despite playing arguably the toughest schedule in the ultra-competitive ISL.  Over this same period, Milton has sent eleven players on to play Division I collegiate football.  Two of our seniors from the class of 2008 will matriculate to Division I programs.  Steve Aborn will be heading off to Harvard where he is projected to play tight end, and Walter McCarthy (OT, DT) is still contemplating a dozen offers including offers from William and Mary and Cornell.

Coach Macdonald arrived at Milton in 1996 after having served as head coach at Archbishop Williams High School (Braintree, Massachusetts) for 14 seasons.  At Williams, Coach Macdonald’s squads won seven Catholic Central Large championships and achieved three undefeated seasons.  Coach Macdonald sent seventeen of his Williams’ players on to Division I collegiate programs including three who later played in the NFL.
