Bishop Gorman High football coach Tony Sanchez summarized his team’s blowout win against Centennial Friday for its fourth-straight Sunset Regional championship with the same message he preached all week. As the players circled around him clutching the championship plaque, Sanchez bellowed: “How about that defense?” All week Sanchez made defense the focal point in practice and the locker room, and on Friday, the players responded. Gorman (11-1) suffocated the Bulldogs’ offense; swarming the ball and forcing four turnovers that resulted in two touchdowns. While the offense racked points in the 59-7 victory, Sanchez said it was the defense that paved ...

When does Gorman go Pro?
Sanchez owned Centennial's coaches. He gave them confidence all week by praising their system and effort. So what does Centennial do? Work on the same stuff. Sanchez can just study the film and pick them apart. Centennial had nothing in the bag to fool Gorman and steal momentum. Centennial uses their special teams play for that momentum. So Sanchez assures that is taken away by kicking it into the end zone. Gorman scored on every series. They didn't punt once. The Bulldogs had nothing to fight back with.
The good news Gorman Haters, Anu Solomon is graduating and Cunningham is not as good in the passing game. So better luck next year is looking pretty good.
Great game Gaels! Let's keep it going!
Outstanding defensive effort. I like it when I'm wrong about how many points we will give up. It was Solomon's curtain call at Fertitta field and he did excellent. This will be the last year I can book my trip to Reno 8 months in advance with full confidence so i'll enjoy it.
I predicted a blow out. Gorman put the brakes on in the first game. I have said it from the beginning Gorman can beat everyone by 40 or 50 points and will do so the next 2 games. If anyone is within 20 points its because they put the breaks on because of the heat they are taking for killing teams. The Gorman win streak against Nevada teams will continue. Congrats to Gorman!
Congrats to Centennial for great season. Once again congrats to Gorman for the victory
It's easy to win when you have every other schools' star players. Anyone could coach this team to a state title. They shouldn't be playing for a state title. They should be like Findlay and actually play for something a little challenging.
Don't be so quick to credit Sanchez, I believe most public school coaches in Nevada would win with a stacked team too. This is further evidence Gorman does not belong in the same league as PUBLIC schools. Centennial is one of the most dominant public school teams this year and they got slaughtered. I predict the same outcome with Gorman's remaining public school opponents. No PUBLIC school can compete against a stacked private school. When the average margin of victory against NV schools the last 5 yrs is 50+ points, that's a good indicator NO public school is closing ground nor will they ever. There is no doubt Gorman is a great team and will continue years down the road, but you don't belong in the same league as public schools. Congratulations Gorman for the win and congrats to Centennial for a great season.
LMFAO @ all of the haters.....I love it.
Eddie, sanchez is the best coach in town. He has great talent but his schemes are terrific. The real proof is in the fact that bg has always had tremendous talent and underachieved. Enter Sanchez and they have four straight titles finally have coaching to match the talent , look what he did at his lat shool. Not a Gorman fan, just recognize good coaching. New this would be a blowout, bg had do motivation in a meaningless regular season game and this game was loaded with motivation. Centennial was ba up front this year and newton couldnt bail them out this time.
Sorry for spelling and grammar errors. Damn iPad
And when one of those segments offers a Japanese program, we will call them Valo Perde and kids who happen to be pretty good at a certain sport transfer to said school then???
SG1... like i said in the personal message you sent, if you have information of violations about Gorman then I encourage you to report that to the NIAA otherwise you're just another guilty party allowing it to happen or unjustly adding fuel to a fire.
I don't doubt you've got a valid reason to dislike Gorman but if you have something on them and are just going to crap on them on every story but not come forward with info then you're part of the "problem". Failing to point out the many other schools with "advantages" also seems a bit one sided.
Gorman had an open house Saturday and i'm bout dang sure that anyone who would have gone to that open house without any pre-conceived bias of Gorman, or any knowledge of how good their athletic programs are would want to send their kid to Gorman over most if not all of the public school offerings if they had the ability to do so. Drugs and sex is just as much as any public school but the lack of gangs, fights and large quantity of slackers keeps kids focused. A good kid and good student can excel at any school but the environment at Gorman isn't duplicated anywhere in this valley.
Faith Lutheran, Meadows, and other private schools aren't restricted by "boundaries" either. People can "move" into public school districts if they want to play at a particular school. That 100 homes example is a joke....even more fodder.
I LMFAO @ haters because you're funny.
