Devastated to learn about the tragic passing of two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Kyle Busch at age 41. Thinking about his wife, Samantha, and two children, Brexton and Lennix, and their unspeakable loss.

Not to be overlooked, but one of the highlights of Milton’s D2 state title victory Sunday was National Anthem performance by MHS senior Emma Nolan. She crushed it. Watch out Todd Angilly, Emma is coming for you. @GirlsHockey_MHS@Wildcats_Milton_
