Undefeated Milton keeps rolling, runs past Weymouth, 31-7

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:44:17 GMT

MILTON — It was hard to find much fault in Milton’s 31-7 win over Weymouth in Friday night’s Bay State Conference Herget Division opener for both squads.That’s nothing new for Milton. The Wildcats are now 4-0 with four lopsided wins, and look every bit the D3 state title contender a year after losing to Wakefield at Gillette Stadium.But the postgame celebration was muted, even though Weymouth entered 3-0. Although it may not look like it, there are corrections for Milton to make.“We’ve just got to keep getting better,” Milton coach Steve Dembowski said. “Week 4 of the season is nothing. Where you are right now in any poll, any stat, is really meaningless. Hopefully, we have enough maturity in the group to focus on things we can correct and keep grinding away. The league is going to be tough this year.”Dembowski had contributions up and down the roster.Quarterback Patrick Miller completed 12 of 22 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown. H...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A fourth Bahraini soldier has died of wounds from an attack earlier this week by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeted forces patrolling Saudi Arabia’s southern border, the island kingdom said late Friday. The state-run Bahrain News Agency, citing a military statement, identified the slain soldier as 1st Lt. Hamad Khalifa al-Kubaisi.Al-Kubaisi “succumbed to the injuries he had suffered as a result of the Houthi act of aggression last Monday, while performing his sacred patriotic duties defending the southern borders of Saudi Arabia,” the statement said.
