Summer has proven to be an important time of the year for Milton’s boys basketball team, which is looking to fill some voids and remain one of the top teams in the area this coming season.


“We’re trying to see who can do what and who fits in where,” head coach Matt Anderson said. “We’re super young. We have six sophomores and only two seniors. And we graduated the twins.”

Central’s boys basketball team has a ton of experience back and that has proven beneficial this summer for the Jaguars.


“The know the system,” head coach Wes Mathews said. “We’ve made an effort to practice more this year, but the guys are working hard and they play well together.”

But the Panthers are also working to build some depth this summer.
