MaxPreps Top 25 high school football scores: No. 19 Hamilton beats Chandler 55-41 to finish regular season undefeated

No. 19 Hamilton (Chandler) faced adversity for the first time this season against Chandler as they fell behind 34-13 early in the third quarter after a 97-yard pick-six from Kamari Crawford. The Huskies responded by outscoring the Wolves 42-7 the rest of the way to pull out a 55-41 victory. 

Roye Oliver III continued his stellar sophomore campaign hauling in 10 catches for 175 yards and two touchdowns. He has 27 receiving scores on the season and is three away from breaking John Henderson's state record he set in 2014. His 57-yard touchdown cut the deficit to 34-23 midway through the third quarter sparked the comeback for the Huskies. 

Senior quarterback Daniel Vaita started the second half after Jax Sculley went down with a lower leg injury just before halftime and helped lead the comeback for the Huskies as they close out the regular season a perfect 10-0. 

Junior running back Skyler Cole gave the Huskies a huge boost in the second half rushing for well over 100 yards. He gave Hamilton its first lead of the game with an 18-yard score with 2:30 left in the fourth quarter to put the Huskies up 48-41.
