By Kevin Eickman Last Thursday evening at Briggs Stadium, Milford coach Jed Bell addressed his team following a hard-fought battle between two teams that laid it all on the line. It wasn’t easy for him, but it was even harder for the players who had hoped to snap Lake Forest’s two-game winning streak for the “Battle of The Bell.” The …
By Kevin Eickman About as far south you can get in Delaware is a little town called Delmar, a town that loves its Friday night football and offers an intimate setting to play in with a very supportive crowd. While it is hard enough to when there when you play your best, it is almost impossible to do when you …

By Kevin Eickman On the game’s first offensive play Friday night, Milford was caught with its pants down. On a simple off-tackle play, Ravens senior running back Zion Roach took the ball and ran left. The Buccaneers did not seal the edge and Roach was off to the races. Just like that with 19 seconds off the clock, Milford …
By Kevin Eickman In a game that was a battle from the start, full of big hits and big plays, it would be the Milford Buccaneers who would emerge with the 15-6-win last Friday at Briggs Stadium.

By Kevin Eickman Play after play, they just kept coming. Traveling up to Abessinio Stadium in Wilmington for yet another noon kickoff, Milford was wide awake for its battle against the St. Elizabeth Vikings. In their previous two trips north, the Buccaneers had come out flat and uninspired. This game, however, would start completely differently. Taking the opening kickoff on …
By Kevin Eickman What they may lack in numbers, this year’s version of the Milford cross country team more than makes up for in quality. This past Wednesday in a tri-meet at Brecknock Park in Camden, the quality was on full display. While the girls may have suffered their first defeat of the season and the boys’ squad their …
By Kevin Eickman “Wake up!” That was the constant chorus being shared from the Buccaneers coaches and staff who had made the trip up to Delcastle to watch this past Saturday’s football game. Yet for the entire first half of the contest, Milford refused to respond. Whether it was one of six first half turnovers or the multitude of mental …
By Kevin Eickman Milford field hockey coach Andrea McPike has her team off to a 5-0 start to begin the season. This past week the Buccaneers played two different games. The first would be a 4-0 victory over a 0-4 Dover team, the second would be a 4-3 win over Sussex Academy. At first glance, the home shutout against …
By Kevin Eickman Over the last few years, one of the key areas needing improvement has been finishing in the circle. While the Buccaneers had been getting the ball in the scoring area, finishing has been a problem.
