It's been a nice couple of weeks for Woodbury native Eric Miller. The former prep standout who went on to star at Creighton was named one of Major League Soccer's Generation Adidas players recently. And on Thursday, Miller was chosen No. 5 overall in the MLS SuperDraft. He's headed to Montreal, which landed the pick in a trade with Dallas, where he will join Calum Mallace, who played locally in high school at Henry Sibley.
