Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009
ORRICK, Mo. — When Keagan Prather broke loose for 66 yards on the opening play Monday night, the Hamilton quarterback merely hinted at the success the Hornets would have against Orrick.
Prather scored three first-quarter touchdowns, and running back Trevor Dixon added four more during the game’s remainder as Hamilton dismantled the two-time defending state champions, 51-13, in their Class 1 sectional at Orrick High School. Hamilton’s victory ended Orrick’s state-best 40-game winning streak and avenged a loss to the Bearcats from last year in the same playoff round.
