It was just last spring that Milford and Gunnison met in the George Albert Al-bert Smith Fieldhouse to decide who was the 1979 Class 1-A state champions. Friday they met again in it from the foul line, hitting only 11 of 24, while the Bulldogs had 11 of 17. But don't count either team out of the running.
