SETTING THE SCENE: Milford’s girls volleyball team looks to get back on track as they return to the home court for two of three in the coming week. The ladies will host West Clermont followed by a road game at Turpin, before closing the week at home with Western Brown.

The second match of the week was at #7 ranked Loveland on Thurs., Aug. 31. Loveland captured the first two sets 25-15, and 25-12. Milford nearly rebounded to take the third, but fell 25-19 and Loveland collected the conference win.
Saturday found Milford at Oak Hills, where the Highlanders defeated the Eagles, 3-0. Milford was in each of the games of the three set match, but lost 25-19, 25-20, and 25-17.
