Scott County guard A.W. Hamilton glided past Lexington Catholic’s Matt Heissenbuttel for a basket during the Fifth-Third Bank Holiday Classic championship game, helping the Cardinals to a 89-76 win over the Knights on December 30, 1998 in Lexington. He helped the school win a state championship in 1998 and finish second in 1999. Hamilton was named first-team All-State following his senior season. Eastern Kentucky University announced Friday that it has hired Hamilton as it’s head basketball coach.
