Hutto football overcame a shaky first quarter and the absence of their starting quarterback on Friday night to defeat Stony Point 35-21.
Hippos (4-3, 3-2 in district) backup quarterback Hunter Frenette was in for an injured Kaden Stefek. Frenette threw for 130 yards and ran for 163 yards, including a 59-yard rushing touchdown.

He also threw an interception on the Tigers’ final drive, sealing the Hippos’ win.
