No. 22 Milton returns seven of the top eight contributors from last year's AAAAAAA state semifinal team and begins the 2020-21 campaign as the top-rated squad from the Peach State.
First-team MaxPreps Sophomore All-American Bruce Thornton and third-team MaxPreps Freshman All-American Kanaan Carlyle guide a talented
backcourt that includes Devin Farrell and West Forsyth transfer Broc Bidwell,
who has produced over 1,000 career points.
A
deep frontcourt features Maurice Clipper and
Lebbeus Overton along with four-star Meadowcreek transfer Kendall Campbell
and 6-foot-7 senior forward Fisher Finley, who returns after injuries derailed his junior season.
Wheeler
(Marietta), Grayson (Loganville), Sandy Creek (Tyrone), Pace Academy
(Atlanta) are among the teams with a chance to challenge the Eagles (26-5) in a deep and
unpredictable Georgia hardwood landscape.
Along with a
challenging in-state schedule, the Milton faces out-of-state
showdowns including No. 10 DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) and Lake
Norman Christian (Davidson, N.C.), along with a trip to the Beach Ball
Classic.
