Entering their final district basketball game of the season on Tuesday of this week in Hamilton versus Rio Vista, the Bulldog basketball team was in need of a win and a little help from top-seeded Itasca.

The Hamilton Lady Bulldogs, with a 22-8 record, have run roughshod over the District 12-2A competition. With one district contest remaining in Frost on Tuesday of this week, the Lady Dogs had already sunk their teeth into the district title with an unmatched 9-0 district record.

Eight seniors and their parents were recognized prior to district basketball games versus Valley Mills held at the Larry Eilers Gymnasium in Hamilton last Friday evening. Seniors Averi Poe, Kenedy Craig and Cortland Mehaffey led the Lady Bulldogs to a 78-45 victory over Valley Mills to clinch a District 12-2A title, and senior Bulldogs Bryson Tarpley, Kade Parrish and Baylyn Parrish helped propel the Bulldogs on senior night to a 51-46 victory over the Eagles. Poe, Craig and Mehaffey played in their final home game on Monday of this week in a 54-24 drubbing of Italy. Hamilton’s Bulldog senior trio will play their final home game next Tuesday at 7 p.m. versus Rio Vista. Seniors recognized last Friday evening include (l-r) team manager Laurel Ann Elkins, Averi Poe, Bryson Tarpley, Kenedy Craig, Kade Parrish, Cortland Mehaffey, Baylyn Parrish and cheerleader Chloe Dolloff.
