Interview: Jackson Hamilton and Will Richardson of Rowan County

Jackson Hamilton and Will Richardson of Rowan County football recently came on for an audio interview. Hamilton is a leader on both sides of the ball, rushing for 379 yards and 4 touchdowns offensively while leading the team with 60 tackles defensively. Richardson is an animal on the defensive end with 16 tackles for loss and 11 sacks in 6 games. Both have been excellent mentors for what has been a young Rowan County team the past couple of seasons. Last year the Vikings played as many as four freshman on the field at the same time in some of their games, and this year they show capability but are still very young in a district where Ashland and Johnson Central rank in the upper part of 4A while Boyd County and Greenup County have made big improvements over the last five years. Rowan has had success under coach Kelly Ford, winning their district in 2020 while reaching the regional final for the first time since the early 1980's.
