Fall sports are off to a great start this year at Hamilton High School. Fans may notice some new faces on the sidelines as well as in the classroom.

It rained only Dogs last Friday evening in Itasca as the Hamilton Bulldogs reigned supreme with a 47-0 walloping of the host Wampus Cats. With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 4-1 on the season, and more importantly, 1-0 in district.

TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS - Hamilton’s junior high volleyball squads dominated the McGregor Junior High Volleyball Tournament over the weekend. Hamilton’s eighth graders followed up a tournament championship win in Stephenville two weeks ago by dropping Waco Reicher on Saturday in the title match to win the McGregor Tournament. Hamilton’s eighth grade Black squad also competed well, falling in the semi-final round of the tournament. After earning a runners-up finish in the Stephenville Tournament, Hamilton’s seventh grade also earned a tournament championship in McGregor after upending the host team in the title match.
