Top 5 games
All games at 6 p.m., unless noted
Bishop Gorman at Saint Louis (Hawaii), 10:30 p.m.
Gorman is coming off a three-point loss to Mater Dei (California) that put a dent in its national championship hopes, but it doesn’t have time to lick its wounds. The last time the Gaels went to Hawaii, they lost 31-19 to Saint Louis in 2019. St. Louis is 1-1 and bounced back from a 28-7 loss to Mililani by dominating Kapa’a 49-6.
Legacy at Desert Pines
Legacy is off to an 0-2 start and has scored eight points in two games. The Longhorns have another chance to show progress against a ferocious Desert Pines defense that had 10 sacks and shut out Canyon Springs 42-0 to help the Jaguars bounce back from a 21-14 loss to Orem (Utah) in the season opener.
Palo Verde at Silverado
Palo Verde held on for a 28-27 win over SLAM Nevada and will play at a Silverado team that is fresh after a bye. Palo Verde has shown balance with 239 yards passing and 230 rushing but is looking for more consistency, while Silverado looks to continue its 13-game winning streak after it blew out Centennial 57-7 in the opener.
Shadow Ridge at Shadow Ridge (Arizona)
Shadow Ridge ran headfirst into a stingy Arbor View defense in a 38-6 loss and will look to bounce back at Shadow Ridge (Arizona), which has yet to play this season. It was 4-6 last season and dropped six of its final seven games after starting 3-0.
Sierra Canyon (California) at Green Valley
Both teams are looking for their first win. Sierra Canyon has dropped games 31-17 to JSerra Catholic and 38-21 to Oaks Christian. Green Valley rallied from a 23-6 deficit to take a 24-23 lead against Palos Verdes (California) with five minutes left but couldn’t hold on.
