Max Milligan earns "Scottie Athlete of the Week" honors after helping the Highland baseball team open Conference play with a four-game series split against Coffeyville. Highland with the 2-2 performance moved to 8-9 on the season.

The sophomore had a pair of strong outings for the Scotties in two of the four games against Coffeyville. In the second game of the doubleheader at home against the Red Ravens the Scotties earned their first Conference win of the season 6-4 and Milligan tossed two scoreless innings in the win giving up just one hit in the appearance. Milligan followed with that tossing 3.1 innings in the Scotties 19-7 comeback win over Coffeyville on the road and the sophomore earned the win in the contest giving up just two runs on two hits and a walk, while striking out three.

On the season Milligan has tossed 9.1 innings giving up seven runs on seven hits, four walks and has four strikeouts on the season as Highland is off to one of their best starts in years.
