SUTTER, CA (MPG) - The Sutter Huskies continued their undefeated streak in the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section with a 35-0 shutout over the Marysville Indians on Friday night. 

This is the Huskies’ first year in the SJS after years of dominating the Northern Section. This is also the team’s first year in the Pioneer Valley League (PVL).

Sutter (5-0, 1-0 PVL) head coach Ryan Reynolds was pleased with his rushing attack throughout the game and how his team executed their game plan.

“We did enough to be efficient and capitalize,” Reynolds told the Messenger Publishing Group. 

The Huskies came into the game with an average of almost 47 points per game and about 475 yards of offense in each game.

Senior running back Troy Brucie entered the game with 508 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the season so far for Sutter. Brucie added to his totals Friday night, carrying the ball 15 times for 129 yards and three scores, averaging a whopping 8.6 yards per rushing attempt.

Brucie also added another team-high with two receptions for 70 yards. Unfortunately for the Huskies and their fans, fellow senior RB Landon Sable broke his collarbone in the second quarter and will be out the remainder of the season. 

Senior quarterback Luke Miller scored a 13-yard rushing touchdown to give Sutter a 14-0 halftime lead. Miller rushed seven times for 24 yards and a score on the ground. However, with his arm, the senior completed 5-of-7 pass attempts for 81 yards.

Brucie added two more touchdowns in the second half, which included a 27-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to extend the Huskies lead to 28-0.

Marysville (3-2, 0-1) head coach Will Claggett said despite the shutout loss, he was happy with how his team battled defensively. The Indians have a bye week and will host Colfax (3-1, 1-0) next week, which gives Claggett and his team time to adjust. 

“We’re going to look and try and reduce the load on our two-way players,” Claggett explained to MPG.

He added that his team was a little gassed in the second half and this bye will be nice to get a little rest. The week off will allow the coaches to evaluate the team to see if anyone on the roster could potentially fill a spot where a current two-way player lines up.

This was the third shutout for Sutter this season. The defense is led by senior middle linebacker Joseph Martinez and junior defensive end Asiata Auckland. Martinez and Auckland both contributed a game-high 11 tackles in the win Friday night.

With PVL play underway, each game is crucial. The Huskies will travel and play on the road Friday night at Colfax.

“They’re well coached and disciplined,” Reynolds said. “It’s going to come down to execution.”
