Rivalry game belongs to Nate Starks, Bishop Gorman

The best rivalry in all of Nevada’s high school football was a lopsided affair Friday night. That was especially true when Bishop Gorman High junior running back Nate Starks had the ball in his hands. Starks showed why he is considered one of the nation’s top recruiting prospects for the class of 2014, rushing for 201 yards on 10 carries with three touchdowns to give the Gaels a 71-28 victory against Summerlin neighbor Palo Verde in the Sunset Regional semifinals.

I never wanted the soundtrack of a football game before. Awesome place for the greatest rivalry in the valley. Glad to see Rost finally improve upon that boring offense. With the talent he has at the skill positions, all he really needs is a true QB.

Ok, I was wrong palo scored more than 7 and bg more than 58. This is not the best rivalry when one team hasn't won in 3 years in a row and 4 of the last 5. Bg does turn it over a lot against pv, same issue last year which made the game look closer.

Griggs was going hard gotta give him credit also Rost surprised me by not being nearly as conservative in his play calling as in the past.
Great crowd from Palo wish more schools had a following like theirs. THe only thing that gets me is some of their banners. I love it, don't get me wrong but the ones about Gorman being rich are kind of silly coming from a school in the most affluent part of town. I could understand it if it was Western or Valley with the "money this that etc.. signs but Palo aint hurting. Get more creative.

Also for those interested in watchign the snowbowl between Cheyenne and Truckee it WILL be streamed at TTCTV.org (TruckeeTahoeTV)

Your boy went hard, no shame in his performance last night. Unfortunately for Lorenzo Jr. they got a great picture of that stiff arm he ate courtesy of #4
