Their offensive philosophy centers on pace and aiming to get a quality shot within 12 seconds or less. With their combination of speed, skill, and versatility, expect Milton to put pressure on teams by running the floor and spreading defenses out.   What Will It Take for The Lady Eagles To Win State?   For Milton to make a deep postseason run, Coach Barfield believes his team will need to consistently play at their pace while defending at a high level. Swarming to the ball, communicating on defense, and maintaining their tempo will be key. If they do that, the Lady Eagles will be a tough team for anyone to handle.
