A LOOK BACK: Sept. 10 at Alter Invitational: Playing against some of the top squads from the Cincinnati and Dayton areas, Milford finished a respectable seventh at the Alter Invitational, hosted by the Miami Valley Golf Club. The Eagles finished with a team total of 329, seven shots behind Vandalia-Butler. Centerville (305) took the team title by just one stroke over Mason. Freshman Adam Horn was the top finisher for Milford, tying for eighth with a score of 76.
Sept. 11 vs. McNicholas: Milford returned to Deer Track for the first of two straight matches, bettering McNicholas by a 151-180 score. Youngsters Adam Horn, a freshman and Cole Watson, a sophomore, shared medalist honors with rounds of 37. Teammates Max Steinmetz (38), Justin Horn (39) and Taylor Rehmer (39) were also part of the under-40 club for the day.
Sept. 12 vs. Loveland: Behind rounds of 34 from Justin Horn and 35 from Cole Watson, Milford shot a season-best 147 to knock off Loveland by a convincing 14-stroke margin at Deer Track. Adam Horn also finished under 40 with a tally of 38 for the day.
Sept. 15 at Springboro Invitational: The Eagles uncharacteristically struggled on the course at the Heatherwood Golf Club, finishing a disappointing 13th in an 18-team field. Senior Justin Horn paced Milford, tying for 22nd place overall with an 80.
