Hamilton Crushes Middleton 44-9 in Playoff Opener

Defense, offense and special teams all had standout performances as the Chargers moved into the second round against Verona.

The beauty of Hamilton’s 44-9 win over Middleton on Friday in a WIAA Division 1 Level 1 football playoff game was in its completeness. On offense, Drew Patterson rushed for three second-half scores and more than 200 yards. The defense intercepted four passes. And Kenny Lo was perfect on three first-half field goal attempts. Third-seeded Hamilton (7-2) advanced to face second-seeded Verona (8-1), which defeated Oconomowoc 23-13 on Friday. It took very little time for the host Chargers to assert superiority over Middleton (5-4). Jake Knueppel snagged an interception on the third play of the game at his own 43. “That was the most important piece of the game, getting the turnovers,” said Hamilton coach John Damato. “When you’re in a big game …

Chargers Look To Down Cardinals In First Round Playoff Tilt

Hamilton plays host to Middleton at 7 p.m. Friday.

The Hamilton Chargers play host to the Middleton Cardinals on Friday in their opening game of the WIAA playoffs.  The Chargers will look to continue their dominant running game behind junior running back Drew Patterson, who has rushed for 1,498 yards during the regular season.

Indians Advance, Sussex Hamilton is Next

The Indians soccer team got off to a sluggish start Tuesday, but defeated Milwaukee Riverside to advance to the next round in the WIAA tournament.

The Menomonee Falls Indians are moving on, but not they way you would expect. The varsity soccer team defeated Milwaukee Riverside High School in the first round of the WIAA playoffs Tuesday. The Indians will renew a cross-town rivalry against tenth-seeded Sussex Hamilton High School at 7 p.m. Thursday at Menomonee Falls High School. The Indians started the game, which was an early 5 p.m. start, rather sluggishly. Riverside, the 15-seed, took an early 1-0 lead off a goal from Enrique Chavez. Falls tied the game up in the 24th minute and went into halftime tied 1-1. However, the Indians littered the net in the second half and stacked 4 goals on Riverside to claim a comfortable 5-1 victory and advance. The Sussex Hamilton Chargers finished …

WIAA Playoffs: Hamilton Is In, How About Other Area Teams?

Most high school football teams learned their playoff fates Friday, but a few teams are still fighting for a postseason berth when the regular season ends this weekend.

The Hamilton Chargers sealed their playoff fate two weeks ago, but here is a rundown of other area teams and what they need to do to get into the WIAA playoffs.  Muskego, Racine Horlick, Greendale, Martin Luther and Brookfield Academy all can lock up playoff berths with victories Friday, but losses would either eliminate them from contention or significantly hurt their chances. In the third edition of Patch’s Postseason Possibilities, we take another look at each high school team in the Milwaukee Patch area and break down its playoff chances. Records and scenarios are updated as of Oct. 7. Look for an update to include next weekend’s games by noon Oct. 15. (To get in, a team needs four or more league wins.) In for sure Waukesha West (3-4, …

VIDEO: Hamilton Playoffs Like You've Never Seen Before

This video shows the Chargers first round of playoff games in a style and quality comparable to the NFL.

After dominating Germantown in the first round of WIAA football playoffs, the Hamilton Chargers are scheduled to face off against Manitowoc Lincoln on Friday. However, the Sussex team will have to pull out all the stops during the second round of playoff games. Manitowoc Lincoln has a perfect record this season (10-0), and just burned the Milwaukee Madison Knights 42-0 on Friday, according to the Herald Times Reporter. The Chargers have only lost one game this season to Brookfield Central, and will play the No. 1-seeded team on Friday at 7 p.m. at Municipal Field. A special thanks to 18-year-old Justin Clough of Menomonee Falls for producing this outstanding video posted on his YouTube page Saturday.
