HAMILTON, N.Y. - September 11, 2026

On September 11, 2026, the Poland and Hamilton varsity girls soccer programs came together not only for an important league matchup, but also to honor the heroes and lives forever connected to one of the most significant days in our nation's history.
 

Prior to kickoff, members of the Hamilton Fire Department were recognized for their service and dedication to the community. The firefighters then joined both teams on the field during the National Anthem, creating a powerful and meaningful tribute. Among those honored was Teddy Freeth, a firefighter with the Hamilton Fire Department and a proud alumnus of the Hamilton Boys Varsity Soccer program. His presence served as a special reminder of the lasting connections between Hamilton athletics and the community members who continue to serve others every day.
