Cambridge mounts comeback over Milton on senior night By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga — Cambridge High completed the school’s first season sweep of Milton lacrosse April 15 after a fourth quarter comeback on senior night. The final score was 11-9. The Eagles jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first quarter before Cambridge fired back. The first half was back-andforth, with the Bears keeping the
deficit at one or two goals through halftime. Milton came out electrified in the third quarter and put up three goals in less than eight minutes, while Cambridge notched only one. Senior defenseman Jay Marcille got in on the action with a goal. Despite a whistle-heavy game where many faceoffs resulted in a violation, Milton was able to forge their momentum in the second

ROSWELL, Ga. — The Milton Fire Department can now work with ER telehealth doctors during their calls, following approval April 14 from the Milton City Council. Council members voted 5- 1 to approve the contract. Councilwoman Carol Cookerly originally abstained from the vote but was then told that she must vote no based on her reasoning. “I think that there’s a lot more detail that is necessary before I feel good about it,” Cookerly said. The contract between Milton and RightSite Health Physicians will allow for non-emergency patients to access telehealth services. RightSite, a telehealth program, directly links end users to ER telehealth doctors and a patient navigator, if desired. The program also provides patients with services such as Ubers to urgent care or DoorDash for prescriptions. The program will have no financial impact to the city and directly bills the patient’s insurance. Patients will be given the opportunity to use the service after an in-home visit from the Fire Department or with a direct referral from dispatch, if the patient meets certain criteria.
