The Hamilton Heights Huskies will head out to face off against the Twin Lakes Indians at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Hamilton Heights took a loss when they played away from home last Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They walked away with a 22-14 victory over Logansport. The score was all tied up 7-7 at the break, but the Huskies were the (much) better team in the second half.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Hamilton Heights to victory, but perhaps none more so than AJ Flanagan, who rushed for 74 yards and one TD, and also picked up 50 receiving yards. Drew Woodruff was another key passer, throwing for 261 yards and one touchdown while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt.
Hamilton Heights didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Logansport to a completion percentage of just 44.4%. The team can thank Andre Chandler for the heroic effort on defense: he. Hamilton Heights wasn't nearly as limited: they posted one of 60.9%.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Twin Lakes). They blew past Benton Central, posting a 75-6 win. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since September 17, 2021, but that streak is no more.
Hamilton Heights better focus on containing Cooper Dold and Ledger Shaffer as the pair were huge in Twin Lakes' win. Dold threw for 189 yards and five TDs on only 13 passes, while Shaffer picked up 110 receiving yards and three scores. Thanks to that big game, Dold is now up to 19 passing touchdowns on the season. Mason Brummett was in the mix too, providing Twin Lakes with two touchdowns.
Special teams was a major factor in the game for Twin Lakes, racking up 15 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Brummett, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
Twin Lakes' victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 5-1. The road wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 52.7 points over those games. As for Hamilton Heights, their record now sits at 2-4.
Hamilton Heights was able to grind out a solid victory over Twin Lakes in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, winning 26-16. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Huskies since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
