Played @ Crimson Cliffs

Roundup

Crimson Cliffs (3-1) edged past Brighton (1-3) with a 35-29 victory in a high-scoring nonregion clash. Tanoai Andersen was instrumental for the Mustangs, racing for a 10-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter and throwing two TD passes, including an 8-yard strike to Kade Shaw early in the third quarter. Brighton, led by Ryce Palepoi's three touchdown passes, managed to keep the game close with their own offensive production but ultimately couldn't bridge the gap. The Bengals' standout moment was two connections between Palepoi and Slade Taylor, the second coming with 7:12 left in the fourth quarter, tightening the game at 28-29. However, a late surge proved insufficient as Crimson Cliffs' defense held firm in the final minutes.
