Games with league title implications and a pair of games against the top 5A Division I teams highlight a loaded Week 9 Southern Nevada high school football slate.
With three weeks left in the regular season, high school football teams are preparing to make a playoff run and compete for a state championship.
Class 5A experienced the biggest changes during the realignment process in the offseason, but one thing remains the same: Bishop Gorman’s dominance.
Bishop Gorman and Liberty again are expected to win league championships and meet for a state championship game berth.
Check out the top five games and complete schedule for Week 1 of the high school football season.
Las Vegas edged Durango 10-7 on Friday to win the Class 4A Mountain League title and clinch a first-round bye in the playoffs.
Liberty was missing about 40 players because of COVID protocols, but because the Patriots have so many players out for football, they were able to play the game.
Bishop Gorman remains No. 1 in the Review Journal’s football rankings despite a last-minute collapse and 25-24 loss to Hamilton (Arizona) last week.
Bishop Gorman, ranked No. 7 nationally by USA Today, will play at No. 24 Hamilton (Arizona) in an attempt to go 4-0 against its out-of-state opponents.
Bishop Gorman keeps the No. 1 spot in the Review-Journal’s Southern Nevada Class 5A football rankings after edging Miami Central (Florida) last week.

Here is the 2019 Nevada Preps All-Southern Nevada football team.
