It's the second of six consecutive tough out-of-state games for No. 9 Bishop Gorman. The Gaels started fast last week
with a 44-0 rout of a Brophy Prep (Phoenix) team that was rated fifth in Arizona's Division I preseason rankings. Notre Dame-committed safety
Nicco Fertitta had eight tackles and a fumble recovery for Gorman's defense, which surrendered only 150 total yards on the night. This is the season opener for Servite, which is No. 12 in the latest Xcellent 25 and 17th in the MaxPreps Composite Rankings even though it went 6-6 against a demanding schedule a year ago. The lofty expectations are justified by the Friars' talented senior class, which includes four-star dual-threat quarterback
Travis Waller (an Oregon commit).
