How to watch Santa Margarita vs. Bishop Gorman football in battle of nationally-ranked teams

Even with a loss apiece under each team's belt, No. 8 Bishop Gorman (NV) and No. 13 Santa Margarita (CA) are unquestionably two of the better or best teams in high school football.

Whether or not either team is still in the national title race is yet to be determined. But one thing is for sure: nobody wins a national championship with two losses.

One could argue that Santa Margarita is transitively the favorite in this one. That's because Santa Margarita beat Corona Centennial and Centennial beat Mater Dei, which just beat Bishop Gorman. Bishop Gorman, the 2023 disputed national champion alongside Mater Dei, has prided itself on an incredible offensive line in recent years, but the Gaels' offensive line is "merely" great in 2025 as opposed to unstoppable, which Mater Dei proved less than a week ago. And that's a problem when you're going up against the likes of LBs Dash Fifita and Leki Holani and DLs Simote Katoanga, Isaia Vandermade, and Manoah Faupusa – not to mention trying to pass against an outstanding secondary. However, Bishop Gorman is a juggernaut in its own right that, like Santa Margarita, has talent evenly spread across nearly every position. And the Gaels have been almost as consistent as it gets against out-of-state heavyweights not named Mater Dei in recent history.
