MILTON — You follow BB&N football the past few years, and you run into a few hard truths. One, running back Bo MacCormack is going to run for a bunch of yards and basically dominate. Two, the Knights will impress you as a very good team. In Saturday’s 35-14 win over Milton Academy, all of that remained the same. The only caveat? Maybe scratch off “very good,” and replace it……
