Every member of Hamilton’s bi-district qualifying Lady Bulldog volleyball team received accolades for their performance on the court and/or in the classroom when District 11-2A district volleyball honors were announced on Monday of this week. Senior Macie Parrish was named the district’s offensive MVP, and District 11-2A defensive MVP honors were bestowed upon senior Morgan Mehaffey. Junior Jaley Reich was recognized as the district’s setter of the year, and freshman Kelton Wright was named the newcomer of the year by District 11 coaches.

EIGHTH GRADE BULLDOGS: Hamilton’s eighth grade Dogs were triumphant in a battle of the Bulldogs last Thursday evening at Kooken Field, stampeding Bosqueville for a 54-0 shutout victory to claim an impressive 7-1 season record. The budding Bulldogs were 4-1 in district, losing only to district foe Tolar midway through the season.

Glow rally: Organized by cheer coach Patricia Leach, Hamilton High School held their final pep rally of the year in the dark last Friday morning. The high school gymnasium was lit only by colorful strobe lights, black lights and glow sticks. Pictured, members of the HHS Class of 2021 gather following their final pep rally, and the HHS cheerleaders are pictured performing their “Purge Routine” choreographed by senior cheerleaders Morgan Mehaffey and Emiley Hale. 

The Lady Bulldog basketball teams landed on the shoreline of a new season last Friday and “burned the boats”, meaning there is no turning back. Hosting Cherokee last Friday, the Lady Bulldogs doused the Lady Indians with a 68-32 drubbing to open the season at 1-0. Hamilton’s junior varsity black squad also got off to a 1-0 start on Friday with a 63-9 blowout victory over the visiting Lady Indians. The Lady Bulldogs were scheduled to play in Whitney on Tuesday of this week and will return home to host Millsap next Tuesday.
