The Owls got field goals from Harrison Bloom of 36 yards on the next to last play of the half to lead 10-3 and a 21-yarder with 8:50 to play to give the Owls (12-0)

a 13-3 lead.

Milford finally got in the end zone on a 7-yard Caden Zalenski run the helped cut the gap to 13-10 with 3:32 to play. But the ensuing on-sides kick went out of bounds at midfield and the Owls were able to run out the clock.

Milford’s other points came on a Colin Gregg 37-yard field goal with 4:02 left in the first half, cutting the margin to 7-3.

Milford finishes the season 8-3, reaching their first title game since 2004. The Owls won their first football chamionship since 2001.
