After flirting with the elusive .800 mark throughout last season, it looks like the chase is on after an 8-3 opening week.

WEEK TWO

Friday's Games

BISHOP GORMAN at ELDORADO, 7 p.m.

Two of Nevada's top Division I prospects go head-to-head, with scouts expected to turn out in droves to see the Gaels' Dyante Parkins and the Sundevils' Steven Jackson.

Pick -- Gorman 24, Eldorado 14

PALO VERDE at SILVERADO, 7 p.m.

This one goes down the wire, with the home team getting the nod.

Pick -- Silverado 27, Palo Verde 21

CHEYENNE at CHAPARRAL, 7 p.m.

Cowboys QB Dallas Dobbs won't pass for five TDs in this one, but he'll give the Shields headaches nonetheless.

Pick -- Chaparral 26, Cheyenne 20

WESTERN at VALLEY, 7 p.m.

The Warriors ran roughshod over Silverado's defense last week, while the Vikings had trouble stopping a far less explosive Palo Verde running game.

Pick -- Western 34, Valley 14

MOJAVE at GREEN VALLEY, 7 p.m.

The Rattlers had trouble putting away Rancho, and Green Valley's team speed could create matchup problems.

Pick -- Green Valley 14, Mojave 7

CIM.-MEMORIAL at BASIC, 7 p.m.

The Wolves hung tough against Gorman last week, but this is asking too much.

Pick -- Cimarron 42, Basic 7

DURANGO at RANCHO, 7 p.m.

The Blazers rallied from 13 points down against Green Valley, and Rancho nearly came back from 14 down against Mojave.

Pick -- Durango 27, Rancho 13

CLARK at LAS VEGAS, 7 p.m.

After last week's embarrassing 49-7 loss in California, the Wildcats will be looking to put the hurt on someone.

Pick -- Las Vegas 34, Clark 7

FOOTHILL at CENTENNIAL, 7 p.m.

The Falcons have momentum and confidence after beating Clark.

Pick -- Foothill 26, Centennial 14

BONANZA at DESERT PINES, 7 p.m.

The Jaguars posted their first varsity win last week over Centennial.

Pick -- Bonanza 33, Desert Pines 13
