Coronado avenged a regular-season loss to Desert Pines by rolling the Jaguars in the Class 5A Division I state quarterfinals. Bishop Gorman awaits.
Bishop Gorman rolled to a home win over Coronado to finish the regular season 10-0 and earn the No. 1 seed in the Class 5A Division I playoffs.
Bishop Gorman only had one first-half possession and led by four points at halftime at Shadow Ridge on Friday night.
Only three of the 14 teams in the new Class 4A made the playoffs last season, and none of them earned a postseason victory.
Silverado returns many of its top players after a season in which it went 12-0, won the Class 4A state championship and outscored its opponents 628-128.
Two high school games were canceled Friday — league games between Arbor View and Foothill and Chaparral and Sunrise Mountain — that could affect playoff chances and seeding.
Foothill will not play in the Thursday Night Lights football game because of positive COVID-19 tests in its program. Basic will host Cheyenne.
Cheyenne’s Kaleigha Plett is believed to be the first girl in Nevada high school football history to start at quarterback. She also played cornerback against Clark.
A Nevada Interscholastic Association spokesman said several high school games have been canceled for various reasons, including COVID concerns, brush fires and a shortage of players.
Former flag football player Kaleigha Plett is inheriting the starting quarterback role after COVID protocols sidelined two Cheyenne quarterbacks.
