Adams brings home state title

A sunny day for HHS

By Grant Lengefeld Hamilton High School will be competing in the District 12-2A Track and Field Championships on Wednesday and Thursday of next week in Rio Vista.

HEY BATTER

Hamilton’s seventh grade Lady Bulldogs struck gold again on Monday of last week during the Hamilton Junior High Extraco Relays. It marked the third consecutive team championship for the seventh grade Lady Bulldogs in as many meets. Hamilton’s eighth grade Lady Dogs deposited a bronze medal, and the seventh and eighth grade Bulldogs each cashed in on a fifth place team finish.

Helping Hands

Seniors Brooklyn Bragg (34) and Kelton Wright (5) were two of just 50 players in the 2A classification across the state to be named to the Texas Girls Coaches Association All-State Basketball Team. Both seniors reached over 1,000 career points this year as they led the Lady Bulldogs to a 24-10 record and a regional quarterfinal appearance during the 2023-2024 season. Wright was also named the District 12-2A Player of the Year and received 2A-Region 2 All-Region honors this year. In addition to grabbing allstate honors, Bragg dunked a first team all-district nod this season and joined Wright in earning all-region basketball recognition during her senior campaign.

Now 8-9 on the season and 3-2 in district, the Hamilton Bulldog baseball team split a home and away series with district opponent DeLeon last week and narrowly fell on the road to Sweetwater on Saturday by a 5-4 score.
