The Hutto Hippos will venture away from home to take on the Vandegrift Vipers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hutto is no doubt hoping to put an end to a five-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.
If Vandegrift heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Hutto took over last week. Hutto strolled past Stony Point with points to spare on Friday, taking the game 35-21.
Hutto's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Keilan Chavies, who rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and Hunter Frenette, who rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry. Hutto is 3-1 when Chavies posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Jaiden Fields, who gained 173 total yards and two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Hutto was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 320 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
One reason for the win was Hutto's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Brayden Stanfield was especially locked on to Stony Point's QB and sacked him twice.
Meanwhile, Vandegrift entered their tilt with Manor on Friday with four consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with five. They took their match on the road with ease, bagging a 56-6 win over the Mustangs. The matchup marked the Vipers' most dominant victory of the season.
Hutto now has a winning record of 4-3. As for Vandegrift, their record is now 6-1.
Hutto took a serious blow against Vandegrift in their previous meeting back in October of 2021, falling 49-9. Can Hutto avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
