Hutto is headed out to face Judson after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Hutto breezed by San Marcos at home to the tune of 63-8 on Friday. Given the Hippos' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 201st, while the Rattlers are ranked 587th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
