This week, Milton’s Mustangs—from every sport—treated fans to exciting action. A come-from-behind, overtime win over Nobles earned Milton’s boys’ hockey squad a slot in post-season play. The girls’ basketball team beat Thayer in a nail-biter that was decided in the last second of the game, and with 1,358 points in her high school basketball career, Katie Murray (I) surpassed the School’s all-time scoring record. Wrestler Nash Simpson (I) finished among the top 12 in the nation, defeating the number eight seed in the Prep National Tournament. The girls’ 200-freestyle relay set a new Milton record at 1:44.55. The boys’ basketball team beat Nobles on the Bulldogs’ own court; their terrific season qualified them for post-season play as well.
Qualifying as the number six seed, boys’ hockey competes in the Super Eight tournament on March 3 at 5:30 p.m., going blade-to-blade with top rival and number three seed, Nobles, at Nobles. The fifth seeded boys’ basketball squad will travel to Plymouth, New Hampshire, on March 3 to take on the number four seeded Holderness team. Tip-off is 4:30 p.m.
