Football roundup: Brighton loses another opener to a Carr-led Saline team

Brighton’s football team has seen enough of the Carr brothers the last two years.

A year ago, the Bulldogs faced current Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr, who threw for 308 yards during Saline’s 42-3 victory.

On Thursday, junior Tommy Carr threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as Saline beat Brighton, 41-20, in a season opener.

Carr’s 3-yard scramble with 9:06 left in the third quarter broke a 14-14 tie. He then extended Saline’s lead to 27-14 on a 34-yard touchdown pass to Jack Day with 19 seconds left in the third.

A 1-yard touchdown run by Jackson Johnson got Brighton within 27-20 with 8:34 left in the game, but the Hornets scored two more times on an 18-yard pass from Carr to LaDainian Woods and a 68-yard run by James Rush.

Lawrence Wells, an Ann Arbor Huron transfer who has committed to Central Michigan, threw touchdown passes of 10 yards to Jaeden Byrd and 54 yards to Sebastian Boyea in the first half.
