Members of the Milton High School rugby team discuss the school's young program and the international connection between players.
After rugby games at Milton High School, it's common to see players in both color uniforms eating sandwiches together.

With seven matches left in her senior season on the Milton High School girls tennis team, Ursula Beattie is hoping to make a postseason appearance.
The Milton High School girls tennis team is having a good season and with a 5-4 record needs just three wins in its final seven matches to make the MIAA tournament. Senior Ursula Beattie has high hopes to end her four year career on the tennis team with an appearance in the postseason, something the team hasn't achieved since her freshman year.

The Milton High baseball team has a new coach who calls the gig a dream job.
For the first time in 24 years, Coach Ted Curley won't be in the dugout for the Milton High baseball team when its season starts this month.

Moonan has been an assistant for the Milton Legion team in the summer. He's also served as the JV head coach for the past three years.
