We all remember Durango and Sierra Vista struggling in recent seasons, right? Now, both teams are undefeated entering Friday’s first-place showdown at Durango. The Mandela Effect is the only explanation. Just a glitch in the matrix.

The unofficial Clark County School District football title game takes place when Desert Pines visits six-time defending Sunrise Region champion Liberty at 7 p.m. Thursday.
The time difference here in Hawaii has me all goofed up, which explains why I went with so many double-digit point predictions. Fielder thinks I got too much sun at Hanauma Bay. He’s probably right.
Fielder finally made it out of high school and is about to start college. Shocking, right? But before he left, he handed over this column to me, his younger brother. That’s right, another Fielder. Nice to meet you.
Eric and Skeet have been begging me for the past few weeks to use their new power ratings.
This is my favorite week of the prep football season.
The Division I-A Southern Region playoffs begin, there are two league titles up for grabs, and all the games are Thursday because of Nevada Day.
“This (stuff) is TOO easy!” After seven weeks of prep football action, I am nailing 72 percent of my picks straight-up. Three of my losses this season came last week when I missed every play in my prop bet extravaganza. (#Karma Right, Durango fans?)
We’ve reached the unofficial halfway point of the prep football season, and I’m ready to hand out the Fieldies. My midseason awards usually include a free lunch and a T-shirt for the winners, but I’m saving money for a new pair of Jordans, so no dice this year.
I have been pretty rough on Silverado over the years. The Skyhawks have been the punch line numerous times in this space. But in honor of Yom Kippur this week, it’s time to atone for my mistakes. Here goes (clears throat): I’m sorry, Skyhawks.
If you saw me at school this week, you probably noticed the huge smile on my face and the extra bounce in my step. No, I didn’t get a date for homecoming yet, but I’m still feeling quite chipper. That’s what happens when you correctly predict seven out of eight prep football games like I did last week.
Lost in the excitement last week of Rancho snapping its 30-game losing streak — for the record, that won’t be the only game the Rams win this season — Sunrise Mountain quietly reached a milestone of its own under second-year coach Chris Sawyers.
My English teacher is making us read “Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team and a Dream” this semester in honor of The New York Times best-seller’s 25th anniversary.
Call it brilliant planning. Call it good fortune. Whatever the reason, this week’s prep football schedule couldn’t have worked out better.
My season-long nightmare finally comes to an end this week. Yippee!
Every prep football season, running up the score becomes a hot-button issue. It’s a sure sign of fall, like turning on the heater in the morning and the air conditioner during the afternoon.
