Hamilton Middle

Parents and Golfers,

South Hills does not have us on the books for a tee-time match today. All three teams’ coaches have been notified of a schedule change for today.
I am working on a practice, but nothing is set as of now. Please work on putting/chipping/swinging drills at the house if possible.
I apologize again for the weather and scheduling conflicts with this season. Keep your heads up!

Blessings,

Coach Traugh

Golf families,

Due to scheduling issues with Minibel and four golfers being sick, we will postpone practice until another day. I’m working with Minibel to eliminate any further issues. Thank you and have a blessed day.

The Hamilton Tennis Team defeated Blennerhassett Bobcats on Wednesday evening at the City Park. The boy’s team won 6-0. The boys who won were Ethan Shields, Carson Clegg, Darien Hawkins, and Mason Modesitt. All of the boys won their singles and doubles. The girl’s team won 4-3. The girls who won were Zoey Smith, Hazel Flowers, Hannah Skogstad, and Sophia Pinkerton. Hazel and Sophia won their singles and doubles. I believe that the players are working hard to get better each match. Many thanks to everyone who came out and supported the players. Mr. Pierotti and some teachers were there to support the players. Thank you so much. Our next match will be on September 9th in Marietta.
