Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Brighton). They enjoyed a cozy 35-21 win over the Prairie View Thunderhawks on Friday. The Bulldogs haven't had any issues with the Thunderhawks recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive victory against them.

Brighton can attribute much of their success to Blake Andrews, who rushed for 47 yards and a pair of TDs. Speaking of playmakers, who could forget Dalton Walker, who went all the way with a kickoff return for a touchdown.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Brighton proved: they limited Prairie View to a paltry 1.8 yards per carry. The team can thank Ryan Wadsworth for the heroic effort on defense: he. Brighton's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 1.35 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 5.17 on average over their last five games.

Special teams also played a big role in the game for Brighton, adding 11 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Walker, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.

When it comes to explaining why Prairie View lost, don't look at Zavian Martinez. Despite the final result, he threw for 219 yards and one touchdown on only 16 passes, and also punched in one score on the ground.

Brighton's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-6. As for Prairie View, they are on a 12-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7.

Looking ahead, Brighton will venture away from home to take on Fairview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs will need to watch out since the Knights have now posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season. As for Prairie View, they will host Fossil Ridge at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
