Hamilton Heights dropped its home opener on Friday, falling to Kokomo 19-7 at the Husky Dome.
The Huskies got on the board first, with Blake Webel scoring an eight-yard rushing touchdown just six seconds into the second quarter. Owen Powell made the extra-point kick. The Wildkats tied the game up late in the period, though, and scored 12 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.
Webel finished as Heights’ leading rusher, with 48 yards on 15 carries.
The Huskies are now 0-2, and travel to Lewis Cass next week to open Hoosier Conference play.
