Las Vegas Sun reporters Ray Brewer and Steve Silver break down last week's truly memorable high school football action and preview this Friday's upcoming games. They also discuss the latest NIAA realignment news.
Expanded coverage
Del Sol coach Preston Goroff can’t say he’s surprised by what happened in Friday night’s 21-14 victory against Foothill.
The Dragons came out slow a week after winning an emotional 33-28 game against Las Vegas.
“We definitely had a hangover,” Goroff said. “We ran into a Foothill team that was geared up for us. They had a lot of energy and we were kind of flat.”
But Del Sol running back Dezerick Reed proved to be the cure to the team’s hangover. The Dragons relied on him to move the football and he delivered.
Senior receiver Evan Weinstock also caught a touchdown pass for Del Sol.
“It was a really sloppy game,” Goroff said. “We did enough to win.”

del sol barely won this game last night against foothill, which they should have lost, due to the fact that coach goroff DOES NOT PLAY ALL HIS KIDS AS HE SHOULD.
there are lots of kids on the field that signed up to play football for the school but for some reason has yet seen the field, other than from the sideline FAIR! I THINK NOT...
goroff has been a coach for 10 years, it is time to go to another place and dictate your leadership somewhere else...
as far as a sloppy game if he would have put other kids who were fresh players maybe the lead could have been more... coaching like that you should have lost all the games you have played so far....
Dear, Concerned parent (read above). You play to win the GAME, Not play ever player. This is not pop warner football. I'm sorry if your son didn't play in the game, maybe you should have sent him to Valley or Chap if you wanted him to play.
And by the way it's Foothill not foothill. And Del Sol has only been open for 6 years
If your kid isn't getting play time, it's probably because he isn't very good. Highschool football mentality is about winning, not about making sure your little "joey" gets playtime, that was back in grade school. If your kid is going to get to play, he has to earn it.
Sorry, but I agree with pineneedle. This is not Pop Warner. If kids get tired of sitting on the sideline then maybe they should man up, work hard, and improve their game and skill set. High school is meant to prepare for college. In college ball you don't get to play out of "fairness." You play when your needed. In addition, putting players in the game that are not prepared is a sure way to injury.
We don't give "A's" to students who don't earn them. Not every student in Choir will get the solo, and not every theatre student will get the lead. AND NOT EVERY PLAYER ON THE TEAM WILL BE FIRST STRING!
I say to those kids who are tired of sitting the bench this: I know it's hard to sit and watch from the sidelines. Give 150% in preparing your body and skills for football. Work hard and don't give up.
Every team needs a strong depth chart. When someone gets hurt, you better hope the guy that comes in to replace him is just as good.
