Milford High's football program is gearing up for a challenging 2026 campaign, one that will test the resilience of a squad reshaped by recent graduations.
A schedule stacked with playoff pedigree
The Scarlet Hawks open the season at home on September 10 against Division 1 playoff qualifier Framingham, a matchup that sets the tone for a schedule littered with former postseason opponents.
A week later, Milford travels to face King Philip, the Division 3 Super Bowl champion, on September 18, followed by a home contest against Barnstable, a team that reached the Division 3 quarterfinals the previous year, on October 2.
The team will then hit the road to take on Abington on October 16, confronting the Green Wave, who finished the prior season as the No. 2 seed in Division 6.
Milford's season will culminate with a Thanksgiving Eve showdown against Taunton on November 25, a tradition that often draws the community's full attention.
Key players and new leadership
The departure of standout seniors Ryan Burns and Ethan Charczenko leaves sizable shoes to fill, but junior quarterback Vincent Loscerbo returns with a year of varsity experience, poised to lead the offense.
With a mix of underclassmen stepping into larger roles, the Scarlet Hawks hope to translate their offseason work into competitive performances across the demanding slate.
