Huskies Dominate When They Take The Field
The one thing on everyone’s mind: Hamilton Football! Every time they take the field, the Huskies play to dominate. This was proven once again during this year’s football season when Hamilton once again took the 5AI state championship..
Hamilton has been a great football success in the game of football since the school opened and this year sealed its “decade of dominance.” Quarterback Travis Dean, ’10, promises that the team “can guarantee state next year.”
The “Dawg House” stands are always filled to capacity when the team plays, something Travis attributes to the Huskies’ energetic style of play.
“We’re an exciting team to watch,” he says. “There’s never really a dull moment. The game is always intense.”
Travis’s teammate Kieven Johnson describes his team as “dominating and exciting.” The senior says that the team is a success “because we have a great coaching staff, and there’s a lot of hard work that gets put into the program.”
Our football team’s long-lasting success is impressive, but it is not the only one leaving a mark all over the state. Hamilton’s boys’ golf team won its fourth consecutive Arizona 5AI state championship in ’08, and the girl’s team finished in second place. Golfer Andrew Yun won the individual state championship and will play for Stanford next year.
“Golf is no different from football,” he says. “The same intense feeling that you get standing out on the 20 yard line is the same feeling when you’re out there standing on the golf course.”
His teammate CJ (Chun Ji) Kim is a junior and has been named the Arizona Golfer of the Year by The Arizona Republic. Both Andrew and CJ are All-Arizona selections. And it’s not just NFL great Terrell Suggs who represents the Huskies in the pro sports ranks; golfer Richard Lee was at press time completing his PGA qualifying tournament.
Hamilton’s great success is due in large part to the school’s Sports Academies, in which student-athletes in a variety of sports immerse themselves in their physical, mental, technical and academic training. In this way, they live the adage “practice makes perfect,” and their success is clear when they step onto the field, the court or the classroom.
