DISTRICT PERFECTION

Hamilton’s Thursday gridiron ballers took two of three in games versus the Bangs Dragons last Thursday evening. Fresh off an exciting 26-24 home win over De Leon the previous week, the JV Bulldogs hopped on a buss to Bangs last Thursday and steamrolled the Dragons 34-0, improving to 6-3 on the year and 3-2 in district.

That’s a Wrap!

Three of Hamilton’s 14 runners set to compete in Round Rock on Friday in the 2A UIL State Cross Country Championships have mothers that have previously won state cross-country team championships for Hamilton I.S.D. Hayden Blackwell’s mother, Mandy (Christian) Blackwell, was a member of both the 1995 and 1996 Mona Gloff led Lady Bulldog state championship teams, and his father, Sheldon, was an alternate as a freshman on the third in state 1993 XC Bulldog running squad.
