Milan Has Three Players Of The Week In First ORVC Fall Report

The first Ohio River Valley Conference weekly honors of the fall sports season have been announced.

(Milan, Ind.) – If the first Ohio River Valley Conference weekly report is an indication, Milan High School athletes are off to a great start in the 2019 fall sports season.

Milan’s Avery Getz is the Volleyball Player of the Week, Mackenzie Deffinger is the Girls Golfer Player of the Week, and Audrey Schmidt is the Girls Soccer Player of the Week for August 12-24.

Deffinger posted a low score of 47 during a nine-hole golf meet at Hoosier Links.
