Milton Capitalizes on Senior Day Over Franklin

Milton over Needham in Herget Cup Championship, 28-7!

Cats Bounce back with Win over Bedford

The Wildcats headed out of the Bay State Conference and up to Bedford to take on the Buccaneers on a picture-perfect Saturday afternoon and came away with a solid 35-21 victory to run their record to 3-1.

The game certainly didn’t start on a high note.  Bedford took the opening kickoff all the way to the Wildcats 5-yard line.  Two plays later they punched it in for a 7-0 lead.  The Wildcats answered right away with a 10-play 60-yard drive capped by quarterback Chase Vaughn 2-yard TD run.  Then the defense put the Wildcats up 14-7 when Amari Marsman picked off a screen pass and rumbled 57 yards for the touchdown.  Milton would cross the goal line again before halftime, scoring on a 35-yard run by Alex Perez to go up 21-7.

The Wildcats continued their onslaught with their first series of the 2nd half, with Vaughn scrambling then hitting Cassius Toussaint, who sped for a 61-yard touchdown.  Then after the swarming Cats defense forced a three and out by the Buccaneers, Andrew Lynch took the punt 42 yards to the Bedford ten.  On the next play Julien Jarvis took the shovel pass from Owen McHugh and took it 10 yards for the touchdown to put Milton up 35-7. 

Bedford would score twice in the 4th quarter for the final margin.

Natick Pulls Away in 4th Quarter, 48-26

When the schedule for the Fall-2 season was announced, the Milton-Natick game was certainly one that everyone circled.  The two best programs in the Bay State Conference who hadn’t faced each other in a couple of years since they were in separate divisions.  Both teams had dismantled their opponents early in the season.  There was a playoff-type atmosphere in Natick and the game certainly didn’t disappoint.  But the Redhawks had a bit too much for the Wildcats and pulled away late for the 46-28 win, which was much closer than the final score indicated.

Both defenses came to play in the 1st quarter, but Natick broke through first early in the 2nd quarter to take a 7-0 lead.  The Wildcats answered back starting with a great kickoff return by Malcolm Samuels.  Seven plays later, Chase Vaughn hit Cassius Toussaint in the corner of the end zone for the touchdown.  After the extra point by Sam Diani, the score was knotted 7-7.  On the ensuing kickoff, Diani drove it off one of up-men for Natick and recovered it at midfield.  The next play Vaughn hit Malcolm Samuels on a 52-yard bomb to put the Wildcats up 14-7.

​Natick came back to tie the score at 14, but Milton responded when Andrew Lynch fought off a defender and snagged a 60-yard TD pass from Vaughn to make it 20-14.  A tough Natick squad responded with 2 touchdowns to take a 28-20 halftime lead.
The 2nd half started great for Milton with an 80-yard 19-play drive finished off with a 3-yard TD run by Vaughn.  But Natick shut the Wildcats down the rest of the game to pull out the win.

Wildcats Stomp the Womps in March Addition of Thanksgiving, 33-0
​ 

3/22/2021 - It felt a little weird Milton’s renewing their traditional Thanksgiving rivalry against Braintree on a Friday afternoon in mid-March.  But that didn’t faze the Wildcats, who started fast and didn’t let up enroot to a dominant 33-0 win over the Wamps.  The victory moved Milton to 2-0 in the Bay State Herget Division.

After Braintree went three and out on their first drive, the Wildcats went on a 6-play 42-yard drive highlighted by QB Chase Vaughn’s 17-yard run.  Two plays later, Vaughn hit Malcolm Samuels in the corner of the end zone.  After the Sam Diani extra point, Milton lead 7-0.  Braintree came back with a sustained drive that ended when Graham O’Donnell sacked the quarterback for a 9-yard loss.

In the 2nd quarter, backup QB Owen McHugh came in and lead the Cats on a 3-play 84 -yard drive, capping it off with a 54-yard strike to Samuels, who got behind two defenders for his 2nd TD of the game to put Milton up 14-0. Then on the next series it was Vaughn’s turn, as he hit Julien Jarvis in stride for a 69-yard touchdown pass and the Wildcats lead 20-0.  The defense then got on the scoreboard when Junior lineman Isaiah Hassell sacked and stripped the ball from the Braintree quarterback and Michael Swanton scooped up the fumble and sped into the end zone. With that, Milton lead 26-0 at the half.

Milton’s defense continued to smother the Wamps in the 2nd half for the shutout and Amari Marsman closed out the scoring, rumbling in from the 4-yard line in the 4th quarter.

Milton Starts Fast on Weymouth

3/12/2021 -  The unusual Fall 2 season got underway on a beautiful Friday afternoon at The Cage.  And the Milton Wildcats looked like they were in mid-season form, with solid performances on offense, defense and special teams, leading to a 34-7 victory over Weymouth.

​After Weymouth went 3 and out on their first possession the Wildcat offense took over at the 50 yard line at went on a balanced 10-play drive.  Junior quarterback Chase Vaughn ran around the right side from 3 yards out for the td and after the Sam Diani kick, Milton lead 7-0.   Weymouth fumbled on the ensuing kickoff, which gave Milton the ball on the 14-yard line.  Five plays later senior captain Alex Perez busted in from the one-yard line and Milton was up 14-0.

After an exchange of turnovers, Weymouth came right back to score on a long 4th down pass to make it 14-7 early in the 2nd quarter.  But the Wildcats answered with a 59-yard drive all through the air highlighted by an 11-yard td pass from Vaughn to Andrew Lynch.
Weymouth then turned over the ball at their own 11 while trying to punt, but Milton couldn’t capitalize.  On the next series, however, the Wildcats took advantage of great field position at the Weymouth 36-yard line with Vaughn hitting Malcolm Samuels with an 18-yard fade in the corner of the endzone to close out the first half scoring.

The Wildcats opened up the 2nd half with a 67-yard drive with Alex Perez powering it in from the 1-yard line for his 2nd touchdown of the game.  Then the swarming Milton defense took over, not allowing Weymouth to get beyond the 50 yard for the remainder of the game.
