William Hamlett's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Hamilton over California Military Institute
Hamilton was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but William Hamlett did his best to prevent it. Despite the loss, Hamlett was still balling out as he rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
The defeat snapped Hamilton's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-4 record. Hamlett and Hamilton will head out to square off against Desert Chapel at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Cashton Scott and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Desert Christian Academy picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Cashton Scott. Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School had no answer to Scott as he made six total tackles.
This season, Scott has averaged 7.4 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 29.57 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 133.29 rushing yards.
