Milan gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They snuck past the Novinger Wildcats with a 61-57 victory. That's more bragging rights for Milan, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Milan had a senior duo take command as Ethan Bennett dropped a double-double on 20 points and ten rebounds and Keaton T Weter almost dropped a double-double on 23 points and nine rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Bennett a new career-high in offensive rebounds (five). Memphis Cole was another key player, posting six points in addition to six rebounds and two steals.
Novinger's defeat was their 14th straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-2.
