Hamilton’s junior high gridiron squads split games at Kooken Field with the visiting San Saba Armadillos last Thursday evening. After ceding an 8-0 opening drive advantage to San Saba, Hamilton’s seventh grade offense failed to capitalize on a defensive takeaway midway through the first quarter. Calleum Wagner forced a Dillo fumble that was recovered at midfield by Elijah Kalbas. A few plays thereafter, San Saba stripped a Bulldog ballcarrier to regain possession of the ball and control of the game. The Armadillos proceeded to roll for 28 unanswered points in defeating the now 0-12 seventh grade Dogs, 28-0.
