My Cowboys 2-0? Yes, sir!
Chaparral 29, Spring Valley 18

Grizzlies feast on Cowboys.
Spring Valley 20, Chaparral 14

Centennial doesn’t have the speed to match Beaulieu and Griggs.
Palo Verde 23, Centennial 19

Bulldogs have closed the gap that used to exist between them and the Panthers, but they aren’t quite there yet.
Palo Verde 28, Centennial 17

Bonanza takes first crack at stopping Durango’s McQuaig and Williams.
Durango 34, Bonanza 17

Have a feeling this will be a close game that the Trailblazers pull out at the end.
Durango 36, Bonanza 34

Sierra Vista is a step-up in competition that Sunrise Mountain can’t handle.
Sierra Vista 31, Sunrise Mountain 15

I’ll gamble with the Miners, who racked up nearly 400 yards of offense in their first-ever victory.
Sunrise Mountain 21, Sierra Vista 20

Shadow Ridge finally breaks its losing streak.
Shadow Ridge 39, Western 0

Warriors allow two teams in a row to snap prolonged losing streaks against them. Not good.
Shadow Ridge 45, Western 13

Arbor View is too strong up front for Desert Oasis.
Arbor View 37, Desert Oasis 13

Aggies will win in the trenches, which will lead to a big win in the game.
Arbor View 40, Desert Oasis 16

Hurricane already has two game under its belt. And, they are better.
Hurricane 34, Legacy 20

Longhorns have a shot at the upset, but Tigers should prevail.
Hurricane 24, Legacy 14

There’s a good chance I’ll be taking Cheyenne every week.
Cheyenne 30, Cimarron-Memorial 28

Someone will beat the Desert Shields this season. Might as well be an old divisional foe.
Cimarron 22, Cheyenne 20

Canyon Springs makes an opening game statement.
Canyon Springs 33, Foothill 26

Falcons are underrated, but not for long.
Foothill 35, Canyon Springs 21

Tough schedule for Clark traveling to Virgin and Moapa on consecutive weeks.
Moapa Valley 48, Clark 7

Moapa Valley won’t be challenged much over the next month.
Moapa Valley 50, Clark 7

Faith has a hangover from Colorado trip.
Boulder City 19, Faith Lutheran 14

Faith Lutheran receiver Anthony Pryatel-Farmer had a breakout game in Colorado.
Faith Lutheran 28, Boulder City 24

Virgin Valley no longer flying under the radar.
Virgin Valley 50, Pahrump Valley 7

Virgin Valley is officially a state championship contender in the Division 1-A.
Virgin Valley 49, Pahrump Valley 15

Desert Pines’ size up front, rushing game too much for Mojave.
Desert Pines 30, Mojave 19

Iquan Corsey will shoulder the load for the Jaguars going forward.
Desert Pines 36, Mojave 16

Crespi has too many athletes for Liberty to contain.
Crespi 29, Liberty 22

If this wasn’t Liberty’s first game, I’d pick the Patriots.
Crespi 31, Liberty 21

Traveling to the island won’t be easy, but Gorman is significantly better than St. Louis.
Gorman 38, St. Louis 12

Gorman has a legitimate shot at an undefeated season.
