The Milton Wildcats prevailed over Catholic Memorial this afternoon in a commanding 86-68 win in the MIAA Div 2 South finals. A solid bench in the 3rd period, outstanding defense, and an incredible ability to sink 3 point shots put them over the top.

CM got on a roll early in the 4th period but Milton collected itself, took control, and didn’t look back.

Milton will play the MIAA Div2 North champ (winner of Woburn/Belmont game) at TD BankNorth on March 10th at 6:15 PM.

CONGRATULATIONS WILDCATS!!!!
