RINGING THE BELL FOR STATE RINGS: After capturing the program’s ninth all-time and third consecutive state cross country championship in Round Rock on Friday, Nov. 1, the Lady Bulldogs will be holding a couple of fundraisers in the coming weeks to help raise funds for the purchase of well-earned state championship rings. The state champs will be flipping flapjacks and serving up hot pancakes on Tuesday, Dec. 3, in the high school commons during Hamilton High School basketball games and will also be offering Christmas gift wrapping for the public beginning Monday, Dec. 9, through Thursday, Dec. 19. All gifts can be dropped off and picked up at the Hamilton High School office on those dates. If specific paper and ribbon is requested, those items will need to be furnished. Otherwise, the gifts will be wrapped with the paper and ribbon on hand. The gift wrapping services will be offered to the public in return for donations.
