The tough Southeast Division

Las Vegas Sun reporters Case Keefer and Ray Brewer break down high school football's tough Southeast Division. Five of the league's seven teams are part of the Sun's top-10 rankings.

A full slate of high school football contests will be played Saturday night.

A majority of the games were scheduled for Saturday to not conflict with the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah, which ended Friday night.

It’s a big week for Sunset Region teams, several of which are opening league play. Also, two Sunset teams — Northwest Division schools Cheyenne and Mojave — are playing their first game.

Defending state champion Bishop Gorman, which is ranked No. 21 nationally by USA Today, starts Southwest Division play against host Clark.

Earlier today, Silverado and Coronado of the Henderson-based Southeast Division picked up easy morning victories in non-league games against teams from the Northeast Division. Friday, 3A classification schools Boulder City and Moapa Valley each beat teams from out-of-state.

There are two games Saturday in the early afternoon, and at 7 p.m., double-digit contests are scheduled to begin.
