High school football: Week 6 scores and schedule

SALT LAKE CITY — Check back for the latest scores from all the Week 6 high school football games across the state.

KSL.com Game of the Week: Brighton at Skyline

Brighton runs away from Skyline in 2nd half to remain in control of Region 6

Quincy Covington's 86-yard touchdown return in the third quarter kickstarted a dominant second half as Brighton ran away from Skyline for a 41-23 win in KSL.com's Game of the Week.

Why did we choose this game?

After a Week 1 stumble against 4A Desert Hills, No. 18 Brighton has won four straight games and currently leads a competitive Region 6 pool with a 4-1 overall record. The Bengals have a head start against their competition with two wins in region play but face a tough test this week against a lurking Skyline team that would love nothing more than to be back on top.

The Eagles haven't been perfect this season, but they haven't really been out of contention, either — outside a 45-17 loss to Springville in Week 2. Skyline was a field goal away from topping Bountiful (16-14) to be 4-1 on the season to match Brighton in the overall standings.

Region 6 won't necessarily be decided in this Week 6 game, but it will go a long way to establishing a sort of pecking order with only a few games left in the regular season. If Brighton can come away with a win, a region title is within reach; but a Skyline win makes the waters a little more murky.

Other games we'll be watching:

• Thursday: Springville defense strikes Provo for 18-14 win to take control of Region 9
• 4th quarter turnovers seal 24-14 Lone Peak win over Pleasant Grove
