 2018 Preview 


       Hamilton finished the 2017 season with a disappointing 3-7 record. Last year Hamilton just missed making the playoffs with a fifth place finish in Class 4A region six with a 2-4 region record.

       Since 2010, Hamilton has gone a combined 62-31. Their 67.0% winning percentage ranks 10th in Class 5A over the past eight seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Hamilton has managed to compile a record of 178-98. Their 64.0% winning percentage ranks 11th in Class 5A and 63rd in the AHSAA.




       The Aggies are led by head coach Rodney Stidham who is entering his fourteenth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 101-50 over the past thirteen seasons at Hamilton. Under his direction the Aggies have qualified for the playoffs a total of ten times. They have won four region crowns with Coach Stidham.

Over the course of his career, Coach Stidham's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of ten times and won four region championships.

       The Hamilton Aggies will play in Class 5A region seven during the 2018 season. The Aggies move up in classification to Class 5A. They may find the going slightly tougher with the move.
