“Friday Night Lights” is a very special occasion for high school football teams. The offseason skill development, Spring workouts, Summer workouts and the official start of the season on August 1 and team camp is over. Your home opener for Friday Night Lights is even more special.

Running back Bryce Napier surpassed the 104 yards rushing for the game with three the touchdowns. Wide Receiver Tony Bryant finished the game four receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown in the game.
