Hamilton’s sub-varsity football teams came out of the gates with blazing saddles last Thursday evening and hit the opposing Early Longhorns in the snout early and often.

Hamilton’s junior high cross-country teams took Waco’s HOT (Heart of Texas) Soccer Complex by storm on Wednesday of last week during the Midway Middle School XC Invitational. Competing in just their second competition of the young season, the eighth grade Lady Bulldogs found a perch on the medal stand with a bronze medalist team finish, and the seventh grade Lady Dogs earned their spot atop the medal stand for the second consecutive week.

SENIOR SET & SERVE: Hamilton’s Clementine Cooper (3) is pictured setting the ball to fellow senior Presley Pearce for a fresh kill, preparing the table for senior libero Laney Lane (1) to serve up a hot dish from the service line in Valley Mills last Saturday. On Tuesday of last week, the varsity Lady Bulldogs played 3A McGregor to five sets on the road by scores of 2025, 25-14, 25-23, 19-25 and 17-19. In Valley Mills on Saturday, the Lady Dogs fought back from an 18-25 first set loss to take game two 25-22. The Lady Eagles eked out a two-point 25-23 victory in the third, and Hamilton roared back for a 25-16 win to force a deciding set. The host school finally stamped a 15-9 fifth set victory to claim the match. The varsity Lady Dogs were scheduled to host Tolar on Tuesday of this week before traveling to face Waco’s Bishop Reicher at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Next Tuesday, Hamilton’s junior varsity will host Waco Connally at 4:30 p.m., followed by the varsity Lady Dogs at 5:30.

With eight state titles under the program’s belt, including a pair the past two seasons, Hamilton’s Lady Bulldog cross-country runners remain keen on winning and steadfast in their pursuit of another state championship.
