Buteau turned those 14 carries into just 30 rushing yards, though. Buteau found it tough sledding running the ball against the Huskies, who Oak Hill head coach Stacen Doucette called a “big, physical team.” Buteau’s longest run was 10 yards, and he had multiple negative-yardage runs to go along with a fumble. “Offense was definitely […]
