Boys Golf Starts ECC Dual Season Thursday Against Kings
SETTING THE SCENE: The Milford High School boys golf team, off to an outstanding start to the 2018 season, are back on the links on Thursday when the Eagles host Kings at Deer Track Golf Course. The Eagles have been flying high thus far, not but not any higher than at last week’s Eastern Cincinnati Conference Preseason Tournament, an event won by Milford. The dual meet with Kings is one of four against ECC foes on the 2018 schedule for the Eagles.

For the day, the Eagles shot a team score of 317, with Mason taking the top-two slots with scores of 293 and 316. Senior Justin Horn became the second member of his family to lead the Eagles in as many events as he fired a team-best 75.
