Hamilton - Douglas Report

Saturday evening i took a trip back home. To a place that holds a lot of memories for me. I stayed many long days there. Our class laid the championship foundation. We were lead by Coach Robert Newman, now at Melrose. There was a lot of sweat and tears during those days. At this place, I learned the philosophy of "No Excuses". I learned what INTENSITY is. I learned that quitting wasn't an option. I learned about excellence. I also learned about tradition. My aunts, uncle, and dad graduated from this place. My dad met my mom here. My grandmother taught at the elementary school. Ironically, my grandmother taught Coach Newman. My younger sisters followed me here.

See these days, all you hear is the negative. But this place is home to a lot of professionals and role models --people known and unknown. This place is home to many FUTURE professionals and role models. As I end my journey down memory lane and officially began the report. I only have to say 3 words and only a few will understand.
LOVE HAMILTON...................ABSOLUTELY!!!!

Hamilton lost a lot of talent due to transfers this season. Then their starting point guard junior Jasmine Farmer sustains an early injury that has keep her out of the lineup. Could it get any worst for first year coach, Fredric Stringer...

Well, Jasmine Farmer is back and the team has went 1-0 since her return and looking to make it 2-0 against Douglas. Tonight it was total team effort that got the victory for the Hamilton Wildcats. Junior shooting guard Malynda Hull actually had an off night but her teammates picked up the slack early. She did finish with 15 points and 7 rebounds. I know!! Just imagine if she hadn't had an off night. Jasmine Farmer was unstoppable penetrating to the basket making her way to 18 points and 7 rebounds. Junior forward Dianna Johnson was a work horse tonight hitting 10 points and grabbing 16 rebounds for a double double.

Sixteen rebounds is big. But what if I told you that someone had more rebounds than that. Douglass junior forward Amber Terry grabbed 20 rebounds. Yes, I said TWENTY! Top scorer for Douglas was junior point guard Chantonia Dye with 25 points.

Hamilton defeated Douglas 55-51.
