High school football: Here's the schedule, results for MetroWest, Milford teams in Week 3

Friday Night Lights return to MetroWest and Milford. After no games were played last Friday in primetime, Week 3 features a full slate.

There are only two intra-area matchups, Blackstone-Millville (Hopedale co-op) at Millis and Natick at Milford, which leaves the other 21 teams to face league foes and some of the state's best.

Milford is christening its new turf for the first time with a football game.

Franklin will try to take down Duxbury, which has appeared in three consecutive Super Bowls, on the road.

Assabet is hosting defending Division 7 Super Bowl champion West Boylston.

The only meeting between 2-0 teams pits Worcester South against Hudson, while refreshed 2-0 Nipmuc is at 1-0 Norton.
