What an indictment of the atrocious rag that passes for a local around here.
"A breeze for McDermott, Milton" by Evan MacDonald, Globe Correspondent | March 15, 2009
WORCESTER - In the end, not even Hurricanes could derail Milton's path to a state title.
Fourteen Wildcats scored as Milton rolled, 81-44, against the Hoosac Valley Hurricanes in the Division 2 state championship game yesterday at the DCU Center....
The key for Milton was the third quarter, during which the Wildcats (22-4) outscored the Hurricanes, 28-9, en route to a 64-31 edge after three quarters....
"They beat us in all facets - physically, emotionally, shooting, you name it," Hoosac coach William Robinson said. "They beat us. Give credit to them."
The Wildcats also dominated the first quarte... en route to a 17-2 Wildcats lead. Hoosac rebounded to close within 19-7 by the end of the quarter. Hoosac crawled within 6 in the second period after a 9-0 run, but the Wildcats ended the half on an 8-0 streak to take a 36-22 lead into the break.
In the first and third periods, the Wildcats outscored the Hurricanes, 47-16. However, in the second and fourth quarters, Milton's edge was only 34-28.
"We were never going to quit, no matter how much we were down by," Hoosac junior forward Robbie Burke said. "That's a great team we were playing. They deserved their fair shake."
Burke led Hoosac (21-4) with 15 points, and sophomore guard Nate Aitken had 7....
And I SAW THEM win the REGION LIVE!!!!
In a way, I KNOW THOSE KIDS!!!!!!
The fact that my local paper found fit to omit this game report -- even though a route -- really capped their terrible coverage this year. All it does is emphasize how rotten newspapers have become -- which is why today was the last day of purchases.
Bye-bye,newspapers, it wasn't nice knowing you.
