Hough's attack was running nicely against the new-to-the-league Sun Valley side. And while Sun Valley does have some players with HS club rugby experience on their side, they are still playing catchup in terms of experience in the game. The Huskies read the game well.

Hooker Colby Marr scored three tries and Porter Kuebler, scrumhalf, scored two. With Zach Colson putting in another solid performance with his kicking game and CJ Baker making tacklers miss on the wing, Hough was in command. Daveon Neibauer's hard running and outstanding defense was a big part of the Huskies' performance, as well.

The set piece for Hough was working nicely, with Jacob Eroh and Kade Frederick nailing down the scrum and Head Coach Bruce Colson said he was very pleased with the team's relentlessness and their work rate off the ball. 

Also winning Friday night was MYers Park, which won comfortably over Providence to advance to 3-1 and bypass Sun Valley into 4th place.
