The Sycamore offense started off slow having just a 7-0 lead at halftime. Then on the opening drive of the second half, senior running back Jonathan Malek ran for a 49-yard touchdown run to take a 14-0 lead.
Hamilton Big Blue answered on its next possession when sophomore Khaliyal Sowell threw a 63-yard strike to senior Johnny Jones to narrow the lead to only one score. Sowell completed five passes for 108 yards.
That 14-7 score held up for seven minutes, until Jordan McConnell scored on a three-yard run. Big Blue had trouble stopping the sophomore running back as McConnell finished the game with 106 yards. That is most yards in a single game in his varsity career.
In the fourth quarter, Hamilton narrowed the gap, 21-13, when Jones scored his second touchdown of the game on a one-yard run, but the Aviators sealed the win when senior Jacob Hasselbeck kicked a 22-yard field goal with just over three minutes.
