Curtain Falls On Panthers
Filed Under Kitchen Curtain | Posted on November 18, 2008
For 28 Milton seniors it was a night they would like to forget, but it was part of a season many won’t.
In their season finale Thursday, Milton fell to the Pine Forest Eagles 48-0.
But while the game was one sided, the Panthers had a hard time holding onto the football.
“They are good,” said Milton head coach Mike McMillion. “But we made far too many mistakes tonight.
“For many players, especially the seniors, this is not going to be a fond memory.”
The game got off to an auspicious start for Milton as they were forced to punt and Pine Forest’s Jamarius Green did the rest.
For the Eagles, who finished the season a perfect 10-0, they just barely went over 200 yards of offense, but that was due to the short field they usually started with.
In the second half Pine Forest benefited from three Milton fumbles to start from the Panthers 3, 20, and 20 on consecutive possessions.
Pine Forest would turn two of those miscues into points.
This was just one more thing for a football team that experienced many things all season long.
