SEASON OUTLOOK

Servite (Anaheim, Calif.). You could throw a dart at Bishop Gorman’s early-season schedule and land on a difficult matchup. Servite gets the nod because the Gaels will have to play on the road against a team that nearly beat them in Las Vegas last season.
Question mark: Can Bishop Gorman sustain the loss of multiple blue-chip recruits? Bishop Gorman lost two highly talented linemen and an outstanding running back. It has players that can step up, but with the team’s brutal schedule, it will be baptism by fire.

Bishop Gorman once again should be the class of Nevada football. Liberty, which scored 34 points against Bishop Gorman in the state semifinals, returns dynamic quarterback Kai Nacua and superb running back Niko Kapeli. Its offense could be even more explosive this fall.
Overall outlook: This Bishop Gorman squad is slightly behind where it was entering the season last year, but it has the potential to be even better than last year’s team. Cohesion on the offensive line is critical, as is the development of playmakers at linebacker. Given how tough the schedule is, an undefeated season, or even a one-loss season, could have the Gaels in consideration for a No. 1 finish.
Coach quote: "We’re really excited about this upcoming season. We’ve got a good handful of kids back. We feel like it could be one of our more explosive teams offensively and defensively, we have all four guys back up front. With the schedule we have, we feel like we have the opportunity to go out there and play at a very high level."
