Big Game from Hamilton As Springs Valley Won 49-0
Christian Hamilton was instrumental in extending Springs Valley's winning streak to six on Friday. North Daviess had no answer to Hamilton as he rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. Hamilton really tore up the turf during one magnificent 79-yard run.
North Daviess' probably not too fond of Hamilton given he always seems to get the better of them. Hamilton rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown on only six carries the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in October of 2023.
