High school football: Week 3 scores and schedule

SALT LAKE CITY — Check back for the latest scores from all the Week 3 high school football games across the state.

KSL.com Sports' Game of the Week: Riverton at Brighton

Brighton rides 28-0 start against Riverton to begin season 3-0

Twenty-eight points through a quarter-and-a-half was impressive enough for Brighton, but the zero points on Riverton's side of the scoreboard was what really told the story Friday night.

Why did we choose this game?

The Brighton Bengals are 2-0 on the season and ranked No. 8 in the KSL.com Top 20+1 rankings ahead of Week 3 action. The Bengals are in a loaded Region 6 in 5A, but have the talent to be one of the best teams in the region.

Already knocking off a 6A team last week in a 34-21 win over Syracuse, Brighton is looking to do it again against 6A Riverton, who is 1-1 on the season after a Week 2 loss to a top 4A contender Ridgeline.

The Silverwolves will be looking to bounce back on the road, but Brighton is a formidable opponent that won't go down without a fight, especially if Mason Haertel has his way. Last week, Haertel rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns in a dominant ground game for the Bengals.

Brighton could set itself up well ahead of region play with a 3-0 start to the season, providing some much-needed confidence before bouts against Olympus, Alta and West.
