Hamilton Came Up Big in Springs Valley's 49-0 Win
Christian Hamilton's big game helped extend Springs Valley's winning streak to six on Friday. Hamilton was dynamite, rushing 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. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hamilton saw the Cougars), he rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
