Two perennial Western USA high school football powers will fight to stay unbeaten on Friday as reigning Nevada champion Bishop Gorman (2-0) hosts reigning Utah runner-up Lone Peak (3-0).
Lone Peak is off to a blistering start with double-digit victories over in-state foes Crimson Cliffs, Orem, and Timpview. But it'll be the heavy underdog against 2023 national champion and nationwide No. 2 Bishop Gorman, which opened by beating Las Vegas Centennial and Kahuku (HI) by a combined 90-0.

Bishop Gorman features a couple of the premier defensive players in the country and SN All-Americans in DE Prince Williams (Arizona) and S Jett Washington (Oregon), and many other serious D-1 prospects. They include QB Maika Eugenio (Hawaii), who's completed 38 of 45 passes (84.4%) for 585 yards and seven touchdown to one interception, good for a 155.4 passer rating. He has a deep receiver corps that features Zyren Micah Menor, Kaina Watson, Isaiah Nickels (Hawaii), Massiah Mingo (New Mexico), and Trent Walker.
Like the Gaels, Lone Peak has an offense that's leaned more on the pass than run so far this season with a QB in the midst of a particularly efficient season. Cruz Christensen has completed 32 of 47 passes (68.1%) for 508 yards, six touchdowns, and no interceptions throwing to the likes of Utah commits Jaron and Kennan Pula and pass-catching RB Tate Barney. The Knights' highest-ranked college recruit is 4-star OT Bott Mulitalo, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound BYU commit.
These two teams most recently played in 2019 and 2021, with Bishop Gorman winning both matchups.
