The Milford High School Department of Athletics is pleased to announce that Matt Thompson has been named the new girls golf head coach starting with the 2016 season.

A Milford High School grad, Thompson takes over a program that has won three of the last four Eastern Cincinnati Conference Championships.

Thompson becomes the girls head coach after spending the last six seasons as the Milford boys junior varsity coach.

He has also taught eighth grade science at Milford Junior High since 2010. Thompson has earned further coaching experience as a junior high golf and tennis coach during his career.

“As a graduate of Milford and a former golfer for the Eagles, I take a lot of pride in this program and truly want to see it succeed,” Thompson said. “For the past several years, Coach (Sandy) Garrison has enjoyed great success with her teams and individual golfers and my main goal is to feed off of those accomplishments.”

Following graduation from Milford, Thompson earned an undergraduate degree from Northern Kentucky and a Master’s from Xavier University.
