AWARD

Milford’s Pitsas named Athlete of the Month

Dina Pitsas, a senior at Milford High School, was named the NHIAA’s Female Athlete of the Month for April.

Pitsas, who is currently a member of the Spartans girls outdoor track team, “is a wonderful student athlete who is well respected among the entire school community. She led the basketball team to the state semifinals, Milford’s first appearance since 1983. Her leadership throughout the season and outstanding sportsmanship makes her a role model for others. An All-State selection in soccer and basketball, her character is top notch and she will be greatly missed,” athletic director Marc Maurais said.

Pitsas has a 4.28 GPA, scored over 1,000 career points in basketball, was an all-state selection in basketball and soccer, and was a Wendy’s High School Heisman Award winner.
