As the final day of the season started, Hamilton's team had increased their win total to 29, however, a hot-shooting Mt. Pulaski High School would hold off the Knights on their way to the championship game, leaving a third-place game versus Lena-Winslow High School where they would earn their 30th victory.^[4]

As a senior, Hamilton and the Knights entered the post-season tournament ranked #1 in the state of Illinois with a record of 22 and 3.^[5] Hamilton's team won their regional, sectional and super-sectional contests on their path to the "Final-Four" in the IHSA. In the semifinal game, Hamilton's team was pitted against Thad Matta and the Cornjerkers from Hoopeston for the chance to play for a state championship. St. Mel won this game and moved into the championship game against Chrisman High School. The Knights dominated the game, taking a 30 to 8 lead after the first quarter and cruising to a final score of 95 to 63. Hamilton scored 21 points in the game and 64 points in the tournament and the St. Mel Knights finished the year with a record of 31 and 3.^[6]^[7] In his four years of varsity basketball, Hamilton's teams would win 116 games while only losing 14, winning 89.2 percent of all games played.
