The Milan Lady Wildcats, as Coach Nathan Dodson was preparing to lead his team on a road trip to Pattonsburg on Thursday afternoon for the “7 seed” game in the Grand River Conference’s crossover contests, are hopeful of building momentum into October.
On Saturday, Milan will host Grundy R-5, Green City, and Novinger in the four-team Milan Softball Tournament, leading the young Lady ‘Cats into a furious stretch of games extending into next week.
Although the score did end up fairly lopsided (11-3), the Lady ‘Cats bats showed continued growth in an early week GRC East contest, lost against the Polo Lady Panthers at Legion Field. Here is the latest interview with Coach Dodson, originally aired at 5:30 PM on Thursday, September 27th, on KTTN FM 92.3.
Things could not be sweeter for John Dabney’s Milan Wildcat football team midway through the season. A convincing win over border rival Putnam County on Friday night (41-14) saw the ‘Cats offense show both steadiness and explosiveness, with players like Dre Morehead, Ryan Dabney, Dominic Dabney, and Jamuel Pagan proving to provide the type of balance, tough to stop, particularly with a stern front line.
A road test approaches for Milan, as a Trenton Bulldog team sitting at 1-4 overall and 1-2 in GRC play, stinging after a 28-21 loss at Princeton, will host the Wildcats this Friday night (7:00 / Hot Country Z 101.7).
As the Wildcats continued preparations for the Bulldogs, Sports Director Tom Johnson caught up with Milan Coach John Dabney for the latest on the Wildcats, in an interview originally aired at 5:45 on Thursday, September 27th on KTTN FM 92.3. Milan enters play this week tied with the South Harrison Bulldogs and Gallatin Bulldogs for the GRC East lead, all at 3-0. With South Harrison playing at Gallatin this week, a Milan win would guarantee the Wildcats a two-way tie for the lead heading into the weekend, with Gallatin visiting Milan next week, followed by South Harrison coming to the PIT for Week 8 (October 12th).
