Hamilton Heights Middle School Athletics

The 7th grade Huskies saw their season come to an end with a 53–25 loss to HSE in the first round of the county tournament. The Huskies struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, committing a number of uncharacteristic turnovers on the offensive end that led to easy transition baskets for HSE. Those mistakes proved costly, as the Huskies went into halftime trailing 28–4. After regrouping at the break, the Huskies responded with improved play and a much stronger third quarter, scoring 18 points and showing better composure and ball movement. While the deficit was too large to overcome, the second-half effort reflected the team’s resilience and growth. Offensively, the Huskies were led by Khaleb Bandawal with 9 points, followed closely by Colton Fite, who added 8 points. On the defensive end, Max Wilmer continued his strong play, turning in another impressive performance by locking down one of the county’s top players. Although the season has come to an end, the Huskies gained valuable experience throughout the year and now turn their focus to the offseason, where the emphasis will be on continued physical and mental growth as they prepare for the next level
