VYPE/ESPN Austin Radio Central Texas Game of the Week Recap Hutto holds off Cedar Ridge
It was an almost historic occasion the last time the Hutto Hippos were involved in the VYPE/ESPN Austin radio Central Texas Game of the Week on 102.7 FM. In that wild contest last season, Liberty Hill outlasted the Hippos 82-80. (Not a typo!)
It wasn’t quite that crazy Friday night (9/13), but it was close as the Hippos held off Cedar Ridge 63-56 to open District 25-6A play for both teams.
Like last year’s Game of the Week, the offenses were in command throughout the night with the Hippos pulling out to a 42-28 lead – and that was just at the half. Hutto (2-1, 1-0) stretched the lead to 56-28 early in the fourth quarter and seemed to have the game in-hand. That’s when Cedar Ridge (0-3, 0-1) mounted a late charge to tie the game at 56-all with under five minutes remaining. Hutto junior quarterback Jaden Stefak tossed his fourth touchdown pass of the night to finally break a 28-0 Raiders scoring run and secure the hard-fought district win.
Stefak went 16-32 for 231 yards and four touchdowns to pace the Hutto attack while junior running back Keilan Chavies rushed 12 times for 132 yards and two scores.
Hutto heads to Manor Friday night while Cedar Ridge looks for their first win of the season against Westwood.
