Sierra Vista is a step-up in competition that Sunrise Mountain can’t handle.

I’ll gamble with the Miners, who racked up nearly 400 yards of offense in their first-ever victory.

I will be rooting hard for Liberty and would love to see them win but Crespi is pretty solid and has two games. At least depth appears to be less of an issue for Liberty this year and I would love to see them pull it off. Glad they got scrimmages in.
We will know a lot after this week if Foothill pounds Canyon then we will know Canyon isn't ready to bloom until next season. If they can beat Foothill then I think Vegas better start worrying.
Gorman will not run the score up on this one. They have been invited to play a respected St Louis team (who won big this weekend)and there are family and friends involved. Sanchez has great respect for this program. If it starts to get away from St. Louis you may see all 70 Gorman kids who are traveling. I doubt that will happen. St Louis can be tough.
Last Week: 6-3
Gorman 31 St. Louis 14
Good out-of-state competition is nothing new for the Gaels.

Excited to see the backfield of Williams and McQuaig

AV's double wing offense and tough defense will give lots of teams trouble.
Hurricane 49 Legacy 13
Utah's defending 3A state champs will be playing their 3rd game this season while Legacy will be playing their first.
Cheyenne 32 Cimarron 30

Foothill's aerial attack is too much for the Pioneers

Old 3A rivals meet in another barn-burner

This will draw the ire of some folks but liberty is half the team they were last year. I saw them get rolled by legacy at their scrimmage. Not very good up front this year and kapeli is overrated. We will see what happens.
Hey Ray, thanks for the special "shout out" warning for Moapa Valley and Truckee, about Cheyenne.
We appreciate it...
How'd Liberty do at the Arbor View scrimmage? I'm curious about that one... gotta give Arbor View credit for doing that too. Last year taking on Gorman on a few days notice and scrimmaging Liberty just shows how determined they are to get better by playing the best.
Week 2
Spring Valley over Chap
in a shoot out
Palo over Centennial
Centennial plays better at end of the year than beggining
Bonanza over Durango
upset alert Durando has to earn the hype
Sunrise over Sierra Vista
feel good story of the year, Sunrise and wins
Shadow over Western
Western will have a hard year, this rebuilding project will take 3 years
Arbor View over Desert Oasis
Too much power for DO
Hurricane (Utah) over Legacy
Legacy's first game Huricanes 3rd or 4th. Rooting on Legacy
Cheyenne over Cimarron
O line looks powerful, Cimarron lost RB from last year
Moapa Valley over Clark
Too much Moapa talent
Faith over Boulder
Faith's passing attack will squeak them over boulder
Mojave over Desert Pines
Yes I'm a homer. Go Rattlers!
Crespi over Liberty
Rooting for Liberty, but this is a tall task for Liberty, going to Crespi this early in the season may cost them. Also Crespi has played , not there first game of the year
Bishop Gorman over St Louis
If they dont get the big head from last weeks win, they will win
