This emphatic win not only puts Bishop Gorman on everyone’s radar but also reinforces their status as the best football program in Nevada—and a national powerhouse.

Ranked High and Ready to Roll

Going into the new season, Bishop Gorman wasn’t just a hometown favorite; they boasted a national ranking of No. 3 according to High School On SI’s list. With such a pedigree, expectations were sky-high. Fans were buzzing with excitement as they gathered to watch their stars hit the field. And let us tell you, they did not disappoint!

Meanwhile, quarterback Maika Eugenio displayed smart decision-making and great accuracy, making plays that had the crowd on their feet. Running back Terrance Grant is also a name to watch—his speed and agility left the Centennial defenders scrambling. And can we talk about wideout Isaiah Nickels? His remarkable receiving abilities gave Bishop Gorman an extra edge over the competition.

How Do Others Stack Up?

As the dust settles from the first week, it’s worth checking out how some other local teams are faring. Although Arbor View sits at No. 2 in the state rankings, they faced a setback, losing their season opener to Mililani from Hawaii. Fans will be eyeing their upcoming matchup against Millard South from Nebraska as they seek redemption.

Liberty High School is currently positioned at No. 3, but they encountered tough luck against Skyridge from Utah, suffering a 45-27 defeat. Up next for them is a game against Kailua from Hawaii, where they’ll be eager to turn their fortune around.

It was a better day for Faith Lutheran, who celebrated a convincing 36-6 victory over Somerset Academy Losee. Their next challenge involves Mililani, and it will be fascinating to see how they step up against the competition.

Other Noteworthy Performances

Meanwhile, Bishop Manogue is riding high after winning last year’s 5A Division II title by defeating Faith Lutheran. Led by Nevada commit Brandon Mann, they are a team to keep an eye on. On the other hand, Spanish Springs is impressively rising through the rankings, thanks to a strong senior class and a disciplined approach to the game.

Shadow Ridge, however, is looking to bounce back after their loss to Snow Canyon from Utah. And last but not least, Reed is set to kick off their season with a matchup against Twelve Bridges from California, featuring standout running back Bronwyn Rios, well-loved among fans.

Looking Ahead

As excitement builds, the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association is bringing in a new points-based rating system for playoff qualifications. However, Northern Nevada schools will continue with traditional standings for postseason eligibility. It’s important to note that this year marks the first Open Division state championship, set to take place this fall, which adds another layer of intrigue to the season.

Week 2 is shaping up to be equally thrilling, with several matchups that promise high-energy football.
