Hamilton returns 10 seniors from a team that went 26-9 last season and won the OK Green title and the District title. The Hawkeyes should be a force in the conference, and in West Michigan, again in 2010. The coaches Pre-Season Poll agrees – Hamilton starts the season ranked #8 in DII!

Ken DeGood returns for his 8th season leading the Hawkeyes. While this may be one of the best teams he has had at Hamilton – the OK Green is always tough. The Hawkeyes will need to perform at a high level every day to hold back Holland Christian, Zeeland East and Byron Center.
