The Bishop Gorman High football team scored on six of its first seven snaps Saturday in a 69-7 victory against visiting Clark.
Each of quarterback Anu Solomon's three completions went for touchdowns, while running back Shaquille Powell had three touchdowns and 101 rushing yards in limited action.
Nathen Starks added a receiving and rushing touchdown for the Gaels (4-1, 3-0 Southwest), and Justin Sweat returned a kick for a touchdown.
Additionally, Lorenzo Fertitta and Tajon Allen added rushing touchdowns.
Gorman was leading 48-7 after the first quarter and has outscored three league opponents 165-7. Clark (1-2 Southwest) was the first team to score on Gorman in league play.
Well way to go Gorman I did a little investigating thinking MAYBE Sanchez allowed all his players on varsity to get into the game much to my surprise there were players on the bench who did not get to play WOW ! what a classy move, since I'm on the playing time allowed I also noticed that the back up kicker only was allowed 1 shot at a extra point with the score 34-0 in the first quarter he came in and missed well wouldn't you allow him another shot later in the game since the score at half time was 62-7, NO ! not the Gorman coach perhaps he was hurt NO ! just the Gorman way trying to look good by pounding their weaker opponents
Welch, i gotta disagree. Gorman did everything possible to keep the score low. The problem was that Clark was just that bad. The starting offense played only the 1st quarter and the starting corner didnt even start and only got in the game in the 2nd quarter. As i have said before, its just very bad for Southern Nevada high school football in the discrepency of talent between Gorman and the other schools. Gorman's JV would have won by 40+ pts last night. i really think it will be better for everyone if the Gorman JV or even fresmen team played the varsity schedule. Cant blame the coaches. The only remaining game that will be worth watching is in 2 weeks against Servite from Southern California.
Gotta disagree with both of you to an extent. First: Half a dozen teams in town would beat Clark by 50-60-70 points. Not just Gorman. Clark had like 26 kids in uniforms dressed for the game, most played both ways and it was crappy to see and they were that bad. Being bad and having hardly any substitutes is a bad combo. Kudos to Clark as their one 80 yard td was against mostly starters on defense. Frank Fertitta Jr actually missed a tackle on that td run that would have saved the shut out. Gorman scored on their first 7 possessions with one play mostly running it up the middle. Up by 40 in the first quarter they ran up the middle. Sophomore second stringers were in in second quarter. Three qbs got snaps.
When they divide the 4A into two divisions, Cheyenne will absolutely dominate the lower division. Truly there was nothing short of taking a knee in the first quarter that would have made it a closer score. This isn't just Gorman. I have zero doubt Cheyenne, Arbor View, Legacy, Green Valley, Liberty, Basic, Palo, Las Vegas, Del Sol and 0-3 Centennial would have beat Clark by 50+ points. No doubt.
Virgin Valley beats 4A teams for Christ sakes. Have you been to Virgin Valley?
oh and Sanchez didn't let the punt returners runt he kicks back they lets them all bounce over their heads to purposely get worse field position simply to soften the blow. Gorman had almost 50 in first quarter if they wanted to pad stats they could have broken every single game record.
The Servite rankings are all over the place its hard to gauge what they really are, but from what I've seen.they're maybe top 100 but certainly not #6. I expect a good game but if Gorman is to justify their ranking in top ten, I think am impressive win is in order.
