SALT LAKE CITY — It's fitting that on rivalry week that one of the best rivalries in the state of Utah will take place Friday night. Game Night Live will be broadcasting live from East High School Friday night as the rivalry between East and Highland continues.
You can see Game Night Live tonight at 6:30 on KSL 5 and you can watch the game between No. 1 East and No. 4 Highland on live.ksl.com.
This will be the 56th meeting between the two schools, and there is no love lost between them.
"Yeah I've got a couple friends over there," said Highland running back Adam Webber. "But I'm not going to treat them like friends on Friday night that's for sure."
East vs. Highland is also an important Region 6 matchup. The winner will have a leg up in the title chase.
If you want to catch a game and see some great Utah high school football, here are four more games to watch this week:
Roy (4-0) at No. 2 Logan (4-0) Friday, 7 p.m.

The Royals can move to 5-0 for the first time since Jim McMahon led them to a 10-0 start in 1975 but they will have to knock off the No. 2 team in the state to do it. No. 2 Logan hasn't lost to Roy since 1991 and the Grizzlies are 4-0 and coming off a 61-13 win over Ogden.
No. 5 Dixie (2-2) at No. 3 Pine View (3-1) Friday, 7 p.m.
Desert Hills, Pine View and Desert Hills look to be the contenders in the 3AA South and this is the first game between two of the three teams. If Pine View wins it would set up an important matchup next week against Desert Hills. Defending state champ Dixie is out to prove they are still the team to beat in St. George.
No. 3 Timpview (3-1) at Springville (4-0)
The Springville Red Devils are 4-0 for the first time since 2004. They face their biggest test of the season tonight against 4A powerhouse Timpview who is out to prove they still own Region 8. Springville is out to prove they are for real and a win over the Thunderbirds would get everyone's attention.
Northridge (1-3) at Syracuse (3-1)
Syracuse is looking to bounce back after losing to Davis on their home field last Thursday. The Titans can't afford to fall to 0-2 in region play while Northridge still has hopes of a region title after a difficult 0-3 start.
