With teams being three games away from the postseason, the Friday night lights will shine brightest on those who showcase the hardest, fullest, and most consistent efforts on the high school gridirons.

New Brighton (0-7) will seek its first win of the season as they welcome Western Beaver (6-1) for Class 2A Midwestern Conference action on 99.3 FM, 1230 WBVP, BCR Video Platforms and the Trib Live High School Sports Network. The Lions are coming off an 18-13 nailbiter loss to Ellwood City last week, while the Golden Beavers look to make it four in a row after last week’s 49-21 defeat of Riverside. Mike Azadian and John Perrotto have the call from Oak Hill Field beginning with pregame at 6:30 PM and kickoff slated for 7:00 PM.

On 95.7 FM and 1460 WMBA tonight–along with the Trib Live High School Sports Network–Central Valley (7-0) looks to continue their undefeated streak as they travel to Ambridge (1-6) in Class 4A Parkway action. The Bridgers were on the losing end of a shutout in Week 6, falling 40-0 to West Allegheny. Conversely, the Warriors were the architects of a shutout–their third consecutive–with a 43-0 win at Montour. Rob Matzie and Bruce Frey have the call from Moe Rubenstein Stadium with pregame at 6:30 PM and kickoff slated for 7:00 PM.
