Thirteen takes from Armwood (Fla.) at Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas)

From sea of Gorman orange to blows of Armwood blue, from brawny linemen to athletic game-breakers, from stingy defenses to fourth-quarter comebacks, Armwood's 20-17 victory pretty much had it all.

8. Gorman's fourth quarter was more impressive than its previous week's second half

After Edwards scored his second touchdown with five minutes left in the third quarter to put Armwood up 20-3, I tweeted "game over." (Gotta love quoting your own tweet). For Gorman not only to close within a field goal but to threaten to score the go-ahead touchdown in the final seconds was truly noteworthy and something Sanchez and staff will build off. Though it was crushing, I'm sure, to see their national title hopes dashed. The week before, Gorman outscored then No. 24 Chaparral 35-8 in the second half to win 42-22.
