No Two Sports In A Season In Hamilton

Hamilton, IL – Student-athletes in the Hamilton School District will have to stick to one sport per season, at least for the time being. The school board recently denied a student's request to play both football and volleyball this fall. Superintendent Jim Jackson says the policy was created in 1992, but was never included in any formal school handbook. He says a special committee is being formed to review the policy and see if it should be updated. Jackson says the panel should make its recommendation to the school board in time to take action, if needed, next spring. The committee will consist of administrators, coaches, parents, and students.
