League play is heating up for Las Vegas Valley high school football teams, with Friday’s slate of games packed with several meaningful contests.
In the Southeast Division, rivals Liberty and Silverado play their annual rivalry game. Both teams like running the football, meaning the contest always features a physical style of play.
Also in the Southeast, Basic looks to get back on track against Coronado one week after losing to Green Valley in the Henderson Bowl. And, in a battle of teams with undefeated league records, Green Valley and Foothill are playing to stay in first place.
In the Northwest, league power Palo Verdeplays Cimarron-Memorial, while second place Arbor View will have its hands full with Legacy. Several feel a talented Legacy squad is capable of pulling off the upset.
In the Southwest, undefeated Bonanza puts its perfect record on the line against Desert Oasis. The winner would be in the driver’s seat to host a playoff game.
In the Northeast, perennial power Las Vegas host neighborhood rival Desert Pines — a game the players at Desert Pines consider their Super Bowl.
Check back all night as the games go final. We’ll get the scores posted in right rail as soon as they are reported.

Who's better? Cheyenne or Del Sol? Just wondering because their sure was a whole heck of a lot of talk how the Desert Shields are going to dominate the new division.
Congrats boys.
And don't get me wrong, I 100% believe that Cheyenne should not have been put in the new division. Year in and year out they have had one of the better programs in Vegas. The NIAA could and should have picked about 15 or 20 other schools before Cheyenne. Just not sure there will be total domination like many thought/think.
Huge props to Moapa....I.actually picked you guys to win tonight. But that's a huge win and shows you belong in top 10. Well done. The southeast is a semi log jam.now and thank you Desert Oasis I.called that one too. Now please put CM and MV into.top.ten
Either Gorman looked really bad on special teams or sierra vista's kick returner is that good. Missed extra point, blocked extra point several big returns. SV wou1ld have had 21 points but TWICE Gorman's kicker saved the td and was the last man making the tackle, so guess he made up for missed XP. I said it after Palo's second game that Gorman could learn a thing or two from.PV's special teams and they can't afford giving up big returns like they did tonight, against Servite next week or in playoffs. It sounds pathetic to say with the score being what it was but Gorman looked a little vulnerable tonight. Hopefully just jitters before next weeks big game
Agreed BlueandGold. Even though I'm a fan of the boys in green a little further north to you, I have to give you plenty of respect for downing Del Sol. I love hearing from the Vegas schools that Virgin Valley or Moapa will be an auto W when in our new league. I can't wait for the games this year, they're always intense.
