Pick your poison, Dragons — Antraye Johnson or DeVonte Boyd.
Basic 49, Del Sol 20

This is Gorman’s toughest league game since 2006. Seriously.

Best of luck to the Bulldogs. They're going to need it.

When was the last time Las Vegas lost two straight league games?

Cougars are gunning hard for the second-place finish in the Southeast.
Coronado 35, Foothill 17

Poor Eldorado — they got the worst of realignment.
Liberty 54, Eldorado 0

Torn on this game, but the Longhorns were too good last week.

  1. Last Week 18-0
    Season 107-24

    Basic 55 Del Sol 22
    Del Sol has to go for broke, Basic can't afford to slip up.

    Green Valley 59 Rancho 6
    After the whooping GV put on LV the real NE teams might start petitioning to move GV back to SE.

    Canyon Springs 40 Valley 14
    Valley and Rancho might be happy they won't make the playoffs and face Liberty first round.

    Coronado 49 Foothill 14
    The season finale against Basic will have the loser playing GV/Canyon in first round, Coronado won't get caught looking ahead.

    Liberty 50 Eldorado 12
    Not sure how bad Kapeli's injury is but this is a great opportunity to rest him before the playoff run

    Palo Verde 30 Durango 14
    Durango would love to throw a wrench in the plans for Arbor/Palo winner take all game but wont

    Arbor View 40 Sierra Vista 0
    Senior night for the Aggies. Every senior should see the field. Sierra Vista still won't score.

    Shadow Ridge 55 Spring Valley 24
    Shadow needs a win here and next week against Durango to avoid Gorman in first round.

    Bishop Gorman 50 Centennial 18
    Gorman's starters haven't played four quarters since Bergen Catholic a month ago. Fitness may be Centennials only advantage. Gorman better be up for this game, Bulldogs don't roll over.

    Bonanza 32 Desert Oasis 20
    Good match up, 4 of Bonanza's 6 losses are to top ten teams. Neither will make playoffs but neither wants to finish last in SW either.

    Legacy 27 Cim-Mem 20
    Loser gets Arbor in first round more than likely. Winner doesn't fair much better with Palo.

    Cheyenne 55 Clark 13
    Final tune up before Div IA playoffs begin. Cheyenne really needs to get all the kinks out now.

    Faith Lutheran 40 Western 10
    They played with a ton of heart all season, but their season ending is like putting your dog down, fought hard but just needs to end already.

    Mojave 40 Pahrump Valley 14
    The whooping Pahrump gets this week will be nothing compared to the one it will receive next.

    Moapa Valley 40 Desert Pines 14
    Desert Pines could potentially surprise a lesser team but Moapa isn't taking them lightly and will come prepared.

    Boulder City 33 Chaparral 14
    It's been a much less painful year than the past for Brewer's cowboys but it ends here.

    Virgin Valley 40 Sunrise Mtn 17
    Even if Sunrise Mountain had Myloe Lewis it wouldn't make a difference.

  2. Keefer *Bulldogs not the Cougars
