Highlanders Capture District Championship with 35-33 Win Over Brighton

Posted on 11/11/2024

The Howell Highlanders won a dramatic 35-33 district playoff game against rival Brighton, securing their second district title and setting a Livingston County milestone as the first team to start a season 11-0. Running back Justin Jones led Howell’s offense, rushing 27 times for 225 yards and scoring four touchdowns. With this performance, Jones broke Howell’s single-season records for both rushing yards (1,700) and touchdowns (25). Junior tight end Jackson Pahl’s clutch onside kick recovery in the final minutes sealed the win after Brighton narrowed the gap with a late touchdown. Key defensive plays, including a blocked extra point, a key fumble recovery late in the game by Gavigan Walraven and an interception AND a two-point conversion break-up by Aiden Horvath, preserved Howell’s lead.The Highlanders advance to the MHSAA Regional championship game for a rematch against Hudsonville, set for 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16, at Howell. Information for the article was supplie

Hello Howell Football families, friends, and fans!  Please join us for our very first HHS Football STRENGTH CHALLENGE fundraiser.  On Tuesday, July 21st at 6:00 PM ending at approximately 8:30 PM at the high school (rain or shine), we will have a fundraiser filled with competition, fun, excitement, and prizes!  This will be a great team building event while bringing in donations that will help provide our team with needed supplies/equipment to have a successful season.  Our players will be given the opportunity to challenge themselves and their teammates as they cycle through multiple stations to test strength, speed, agility, and team spirit.  They will be divided into small groups all starting at different stations and working their way through each obstacle. They will each need to get “sponsors” who are willing to make a flat amount or “per pound” donation. EXAMPLE:  $10 or $20 flat amount for entire event com
