Hamilton Community Schools

Saturday November 30th 2024 A Black Friday special took place last night down in Elwood as the Varsity and Junior Varsity boys basketball teams made the nearly 2 hour drive. The varsity game was a barn burner that went back in forth pretty much throughout the entire night and included high energy from both teams. The Marines headed into halftime up one with a score of 19-18. A great 3rd quarter for Hamilton gave us a 29-24 lead heading into the final quarter. A scoring drought in the 4th quarter allowed Elwood to get back into the game and eventually take the for good and steal the victory from Hamilton 36 - 43. Harrison Richter was the leading scorer for the Marines with 11 points including knocking down a 3. Zane Ritter had 7 points, Jagger Hurraw and Andrew Merritt each had 6 points. Dylan Holiday finished with 4 and Clayton Spaw had 2 points. The Junior Varsity team fell 40 - 13 to a high paced Panther JV squad. Hamilton will be back in action on Friday at home for a triple header with JV starting at 5:00pm then girls varsity at 6:15pm and boys varsity at 7:45pm.
