The Milan Wildcats, in action broadcast Thursday night on KTTN FM 92.3, dismantled the Green City Gophers, with an 80-33 triumph that moves #1 ranked (MBCA Class 2) Milan into the championship game of the Milan Tournament, Saturday night at 8:30 against the Linn County Mustangs (on KTTN-FM 92.3). Milan has won two games in their yearly event by a combined score of 156-49 this week. Linn County, in moving into the Milan final, defeated Brashear in pool play, 78-49, as the Mustangs finished 2-0 in Pool 1 competition, having beaten Novinger on Monday night (74-43).
The Milan Lady Wildcats, coming off an overtime loss to Green City in pool play on Monday night, took out their frustrations on #6 seed Bucklin-Macon County, hammering the Lady Bulldogs in an 82-24 win, also broadcast on KTTN. The win sends Milan into the third place game, originally scheduled for Friday night against Putnam County (5:30 PM), but postponed due to weather, and rescheduled for a later date.
All of Friday night’s games from Milan High School were postponed due to weather, affecting the girls consolation final between Linn County and Bucklin-Macon County, the boy’s consolation final between Brashear and Putnam County, and the Putnam-Milan showdown for the girls third place hardware.
