The South Hamilton football team makes their 2024 home debut here Friday night vs. Roland-Story.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. from Taylor Field.

The game will take on added importance as the South Hamilton community honors the memory of Owen Renaud. The Hawk graduated tragically passed away earlier this month.

In honor of Renaud, the student section will have a white-out theme and students will be writing their favorite memory with Owen, his jersey number or their favorite Bible verse on the t-shirts.
