A Season-Best Effort from Brayden Hutchinson Leads San Jacinto Valley Academy over Nuview Bridge
On Friday, San Jacinto Valley Academy got the W thanks in part to Brayden Hutchinson playing the best football he has all season. Hutchinson threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
For the season, Hutchinson has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 96.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13.99 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 79.43 passer rating.
