Millis/Medway - Local Town Pages

Millis Youth Basketball Season was a Success

Millis plays in the MetroWest Basketball league which includes 86 towns throughout the MetroWest area spanning from Woburn to New Bedford. Grades 4-8 participate and teams are placed into a division based on skill to ensure balanced competition. The league tournament finals were held in March at Mass Premier Courts in Foxboro and three Millis teams took home the championship:
• 5th grade girls (coached by Rick Connors and Dennis Seeley) won the D3 championship;
• 6th grade girls (coached by Matt Miller and Dyann Rice) won the D1 championship (repeat champions from 4th grade; 5th grade was cancelled due to Covid); and 
• 7th grade girls (coached by high school senior Abby Miller and Lisa Leonardo) won the D5 championship.

Also in March, Mass Premier Courts hosted the state tournament which invites the top teams from across Massachusetts to compete. The 6th grade boys and girls teams represented Millis and both teams went undefeated over the two-day tournament. The boys (coached by Adam Hart, Mike Grattan, and Mike Leach) defeated Mansfield 48-42 in the finals, and the girls defeated Braintree 48-41, a team that had not lost a game to any opponent this season.
