Prior to the varsity Bulldogs claiming a 30-0 Hamilton County title win in Hico last Friday night, Hamilton’s junior high and junior varsity gridiron squads staked their own county bragging rights at Kooken Field on Thursday.
It took a quick-minute to get the Bulldog big rig rolling last Friday evening in Hico thanks in part to roadblocks set by a pesky Tiger defense. In the end, the Hamilton Bulldogs barreled through the Hico Tiger speed trap and returned home with the Hamilton County title trophy in tow for the fourth consecutive year.
Hamilton’s varsity Lady Bulldog volleyball team improved to 2-0 in District 11-2A last week, earning a three-set victory at home over Meridian on Tuesday by scores of 25-8, 25-16 and 25-8, and a competitive four-game win in Evant on Saturday by scores of 25-19, 22-25, 25-21 and 25-22.
