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.
Bishop Gorman begins the season No. 1 in the Class 5A rankings and will embark on a difficult slate of nonleague games against out-of-state foes beginning Friday.
Two players — Liberty’s Saco Alofipo (Utah State) and Faith Lutheran’s Jordan Pollard (San Jose State) — signed with Football Bowl Subdivision schools Wednesday.
Clark has been removed from the Class 4A football playoffs for use of two ineligible players in last week’s 30-0 win over Spring Valley.
Richard Washington ran for 122 yards and a touchdown in 17 carries, and the Arbor View defense made big stops late in a 17-16 win over Desert Pines.
Liberty sent a strong message with a victory over Desert Pines that it was ready to defend its 2019 Class 5A state championship.
Desert Pines scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to run away from Faith Lutheran for a 35-14 road win Friday night.
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.
Green Valley overcame a two-touchdown halftime deficit to defeat Desert Pines in a Class 5A Mountain League matchup. Jaylen McKnight rushed for 176 yards for the Gators.
After a year off and with all the issues surrounding this season that have taken players and even teams off the field, the offenses haven’t caught up to the defenses.
Bishop Gorman rebounded from its stunning loss to Hamilton (Arizona) in a big way, 52-0 over Arbor View, to stay No. 1 in the Review-Journal’s Class 5A rankings.
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.
