Hamilton Made His Presence Known in Hiram's 49-0 Victory
Kaden Hamilton was a major factor in Hiram's victory over Woodland on Friday. Hamilton turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing 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. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hamilton saw the Wildcats), he picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown.
