A pair of unbeaten teams battling to stay atop Utah's Class 5A Region 3 standings. For Brighton, this is its first 6-0 start to a season since 2004. The Bengals got there due in large part to the running of four-star junior running back
Osa Masina, who had 253 rushing yards in a 38-28 win over Alta (Sandy) last week. Although he has just 10 catches in six games, the top offensive player for Bingham might be senior tight end
Dalton Schultz, rated a four-star prospect by 247 Sports.
Just the facts: Friday's game will be the first between these teams since Brighton beat Bingham, 31-24, in the second round of the 2005 Class 5A state playoffs. … Bingham's average margin of victory this year is more than 29 points, which has allowed many members of its huge 154-man roster to see game action. Five different Miners quarterbacks have thrown a pass in a game and 42 different players have recorded at least one tackle this season.
