State title a century in the making set in stone
The 2025 Hamilton 2A D1 State Championship football team received a donation from Riley Gardner Memorial to commemorate and honor the town’s first-ever State football championship that took 111 years to accomplish. The monument is by the north entrance of Kooken Field in Hamilton and features the names of players, coaches, and managers of the team. It also features the scores of the winning state semifinal match against Stinnet West Texas 29-12 and the Championship score against Joaquin 21-7. The monument was designed and diamond-etched by Kimi and Kyle Phillips. The monument was set by Mike Thompson, Cecil Peck, and Heath Hopper. The Athletic Department is also working on a monument to go by the bell at the High school to recognize all State Champion teams.
