  At Lewis & Clark, Stith worked under former head coach Doug Stotler and current head coach Deon Thomas. Milton is a tireless worker and an excellent recruiter. His efforts helped to make the Trailblazers a consisent winning program at the NJCAA Division II level.

  In Stith's final year at Lewis & Clark, he helped Thomas lead the Trailblazers to a 27-7 record and a fourth-place finish in the NJCAA Division II national tournament in Danville, Ill.
