The Palo Verde boys swimming and diving team won the Class 5A state championship Saturday for its 10th straight title. Coronado won its third straight 5A girls title.
Coronado
Bishop Gorman hosts Coronado and Shadow Ridge plays at Liberty in the Class 5A Division I state semifinals to highlight Friday’s high school football playoff action.
Basic hosts Foothill with the Class 5A Division II Southern League title on the line to highlight the Week 10 Southern Nevada high school football schedule.
Severe weather canceled 10 high school football games last Friday. Desert Pines, Basic and Coronado are among the teams chomping at the bit to start their seasons.
Class 5A experienced the biggest changes during the realignment process in the offseason, but one thing remains the same: Bishop Gorman’s dominance.
Basic scored early and often to defeat Coronado in a Class 5A Southern Region playoff elimination game and stay alive in its quest to repeat as state champion.
Coronado kept the top of Basic’s lineup quiet in the bottom of the seventh to help the Cougars complete the season sweep of the reigning 5A state champions.
Silverado, the No. 1 Class 4A team in the Southern Nevada football rankings, will host a 5A opponent in Palo Verde after a bye last week.
Silverado opened with a 57-7 win over Class 5A Centennial and has this week off. No. 2 Shadow Ridge will play at Arbor View, 5A’s third-ranked team.
Silverado cruised to the Class 4A state football championship last season, but coach Andy Ostolaza expects a more difficult path to the title this year.
Silverado returns many of its top players after a season in which it went 12-0, won the Class 4A state championship and outscored its opponents 628-128.
Silverado has a talented group of returning players from last year’s team that went 12-0 and cruised to its first state championship.
Coronado’s offense wasn’t sharp after a bye week, but its defense stifled the Basic offense in a 13-0 win in the Class 4A state quarterfinals.
When Green Valley running back Jaylen McKnight went out with an injury Friday, Josiah Edwards stepped in and helped the Gators to a 21-14 victory at Desert Pines.
Nine high school football games have been canceled for various reasons, including COVID concerns, brush fires and a shortage of eligible players.
