Liberty can't stop the double wing. It's that simple.
Palo Verde 29, Liberty 25

Not seeing any area where Palo Verde has a pronounced advantage over Liberty.
Liberty 27, Palo Verde 17

Traveling to Las Vegas no easy task for New Jersey school.
Gorman 34, Bergen 14

Much closer than the expert to my left thinks. Game may come down to a Kline Fielden field goal.
Gorman 23, Bergen 21

Canyon Springs could be the class of the Sunrise.
Canyon Springs 51, Cheyenne 21

Tobias Carson, A.J. Cooper and the rest of Canyon Springs' defense are going to shut down Cheynne.
Canyon Springs 35, Cheyenne 7

Cimarron-Memorial's rushing attack is too strong for Rancho to stop.
Cimarron-Memorial 37, Rancho 13

Unfortunately because of their schedule, the Rams may go winless this year.
Cimarron 34, Rancho 6

Foothill retains possession of the Victory Bowl.
Foothill 30, Silverado 12

Glad one of these teams will get back on track after disastrous starts to the season.
Foothill 14, Silverado 13

Coronado showed last week it is the real deal.
Coronado 47, Valley 15

Kieran Eissler and Jason Warren are defensive studs on a team full of them.
Coronado 34, Valley 0

California teams always beat Nevada teams.
Rancho Verde 43, Las Vegas 19

This is an opportunity for the Wildcats to play a superior team and learn from the experience.
Rancho Verde 42, Las Vegas 22

I will never pick against my Cowboys in the Cleat Game.
Chaparral 35, Eldorado 29

Fareti Tauaivale is one of the most underrated players in town. He'll keep the glorified shoe on Eldorado's metaphorical foot.
Eldorado 34, Chaparral 28

Green Valley's young players showed they have some talent last week.
Green Valley 31, Del Sol 24

"Some talent"? Gators are the new Patriots. Brewer will never respect them.
Green Valley 28, Del Sol 8

Arbor View's power running game impossible for Legacy to contain.
Arbor View 40, Legacy 22

Still thinking the Aggies could be the second best team in town.
Arbor View 33, Legacy 13

Upset special: I'll take the speed of Marcus Williams and Durango.
Durango 31, Basic 28

Upset special? How about the following two words instead — no chance.
Basic 38, Durango 24

Desert Oasis is the better team in this rivalry game.
Desert Oasis 33, Sierra Vista 15

Despite a rough start, Diamondbacks will compete for a playoff spot in the Southwest division.
Desert Oasis 45, Sierra Vista 16

Bonanza gets to hang the 'banner' at its school.
Bonanza 19, Spring Valley 17

In close games, I'm going to keep picking the Grizzlies every time.
Spring Valley 21, Bonanza 20

Shadow Ridge's Bakari Smith runs wild, but Centennial hangs on for a close victory.
Centennial 29, Shadow Ridge 26

If the Mustangs aren't already having nightmares about Centennial's defense, they will after Friday night.
Centennial 37, Shadow Ridge 6

Schedule-makers aren't kind to Clark. It plays at Moapa, Virgin and now BC.
Boulder City 36, Clark 6

Eagles are soaring with no end in sight.
Boulder City 41, Clark 0

The Bulldogs of Virgin Valley remain undefeated.
Virgin Valley 40, Faith Lutheran 18

Going to hesitantly side with the Bulldogs, who have played with fire the last two weeks.
Virgin Valley 27, Faith Lutheran 24

Every Mojave game comes down to the wire.
Mojave 15, Sunrise Mountain 13

Ty Flanagan will make sure this game isn't close for the Rattlers.
Mojave 49, Sunrise Mountain 20

Desert Pines starting to get a little momentum.
Desert Pines 38, Pahrump Valley 6

As usual, Jaguars will gradually break out of their slow start to the year.
Desert Pines 27, Pahrump Valley 14

Moapa Valley takes its turn at roughing up Western.
Moapa Valley 43, Western 0

Conner Mortensen scored four touchdowns in less than 18 minutes last week. Wow.
Moapa Valley 63, Western 0
