MHS Soccer: Boys varsity top Dedham 1-0
The Milton Wildcats boys varsity continued to improve on their record with a 1-0 win over Dedham yesterday.
Outside fullback Kevin Lamere scored the game’s only goal with an assist from freshman Roy Butlin. The Milton defense remained solid and goalkeeper Greg Corcoron notched his 3rd consecutive shutout.
This is the Wildcat’s 3rd consecutive win. They are unbeaten in their last 4 games. Their record is now 3-5-1 at the season’s halfway point.
Unfortunately, other Milton squads did not fare so well against Dedham. The girls varsity soccer team lost 6-1 (read Daily News Transcript coverage of that game here)and the girl varsity field hockey team fell 4-2.
While in Framingham the golf team lost 42-66.
Last Friday in football action Needham blanked Milton. You can find converage of the game from Wicked Local Needham here.
It is tough to attend many of these games as they are played in the afternoon; but this week there are two that will be at home under the lights at Brook Field. The girls varsity field hockey team will be taking on Wellesley tonight (Weds 9/30) at 7:00 and on Friday the girls varsity soccer team hosts Fontbonne Academy, also at 7:00pm. Get out there and show them some love, they deserve your support.

Massachusetts Marijuana Law: Chief Wells speaks to 7’s Jonathan Hall
from Channel 7 news
A hearing on Beacon Hill today was aimed at increasing penalties for people found using marijuana in Massachusetts. Some police claim pot smokers are getting a free ride because of deficiencies in the state’s new law decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana. 7’s Jonathan Hall uncovers, what some are calling, a flaw in the law.
It’s no longer a crime to smoke pot in the Bay State. Voters sent the old law up in smoke and now the punishment is a fine. The problem: most people just aren’t paying and they’re getting away with it.
Jonathan Hall, 7News
“When you and I grew up, if you got caught with a joint,that was going to be a big deal.”
Chief Richard Wells, Milton Police Department
“Correct, it was arrestable.” (Read the full story here.)
