The Brighton Bulldogs (6-1, 6-0) host the Howell Highlanders (6-1, 5-1) Friday night in a key Kensington Lakes Activities Association West Division matchup with significant playoff implications.

Brighton enters on a six-game winning streak after downing Salem 35-14 last week behind standout performances from sophomore playmaker Dominic Nauss and junior quarterback Sam Alamat. The Bulldogs have redemption on their minds after suffering two defeats to Howell last season – a 36-14 regular-season loss followed by a gut-wrenching 35-33 second-round state playoff elimination.

The Highlanders arrive at Brighton High School Stadium after blanking Novi 42-0 last week, as junior running back Bryce Kish dominated with four rushing touchdowns while senior Preston Barb added another score in the rout.

Opening kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on Friday, October 17 with a live TV broadcast on NFHS Network.
