It's a light Friday night for High School Football thanks to the Yankees opening up the ALCS on Fox 40, the B-Sens home game vs. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and BU's Midnight Madness. That doesn't take anything away from a couple of great games on the gridiron on Football Friday.

Binghamton vs Corning West- Both of these teams have playoff aspirations after winning Section 4 titles last year. That makes this contest a no-brainer for Game of the Week. BHS has won 4 straight games including back-to-back against previously unbeaten squads (M-E and Ithaca). Meanwhile, the Vikings have triumphed in 5 consecutive contests. Their only blemish is a week 1 loss to U-E. Give the Pats the edge thanks to home-field advantage, but expect this one to be a shootout.

Owego vs Dryden- A big Class B brawl goes down in Owego's 1st Friday night home game in years. OFA just installed lights on their field which should make for an electric atmosphere. Both the Indians and Lions have had split personalities this season. Some weeks they look like playoff caliber squads, while other weeks they struggle mightily. Both teams are searching for their first divisional win, but it's tough to get divisional wins when you're aligned with M-E and JC (a combined 11-1 on the year). We'll see the lights shine bright on Owego tomorrow night.
