Springs Valley Gets a Boost from Hamilton in 49-0 Win
Christian Hamilton's big game helped extend Springs Valley's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Hamilton as he rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 79-yard run.
North Daviess's probably not too fond of Hamilton given he always seems to get the better of them. 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.

Springs Valley Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to James Walls
James Walls's big game helped extend Springs Valley's winning streak to six on Friday. Walls turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 91 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making three total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
This year, Walls has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 63.4 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two receiving touchdowns.
Gamescore: 28.85
Paoli picked up their ninth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Fletcher Cole. North Knox had no answer to Cole as he rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries.
On the year, Cole has averaged 38.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had nine rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 14.
