Hamilton Came Up Big in Springs Valley's 49-0 Win
Christian Hamilton's big game helped extend Springs Valley's winning streak to six on Friday. Hamilton turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 166 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 79-yard run.
North Daviess had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Hamilton it was a similar story. 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.
