Kaden Hamilton's Big Game Leads Hiram over Woodland
Kaden Hamilton was a major factor in Hiram's victory over Woodland on Friday. Woodland had no answer to Hamilton as he rushed for 61 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries.
Hamilton must have Woodland's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Hamilton last faced the Wildcats back in October of 2023, he picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown.

Amari Lindley Makes It Two for Hiram

Lindley and Hiram will welcome Allatoona at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Lindley will face off against Xavier Rucker, the Buccaneers' star rusher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
