Bishop Gorman holds at 1
The best win in America this month. Columbus of Florida, 1-0 and ranked 25th in its state, on Saturday.
Churchill County, 5 to 2
It is 2-0 with wins over two 5A programs, 32-30 over Bishop Manogue and 14-13 at Reed, both on the road and both by a field goal or less.
The defending 3A champion is beating bigger schools, and it is title eligible, which two of the three teams it passed are not.
Spanish Springs to 3, Sloan Canyon in at 4
Spanish Springs spent the preseason ranked on a 5A title and no snaps. It has now played once and beat a Carson team that had won its opener, 35-7.
Pinecrest Academy Sloan Canyon enters at fourth. It beat McQueen 28-21 at Mackay Stadium, which reverses last season's 4A title game, on a neutral field in McQueen's own city. Jermaine Wilson ran for 228 yards.
It goes to Bishop Gorman on Oct 9 and hosts Faith Lutheran on Oct 23, so this number gets two hard tests without leaving the board.
Palo Verde, 10 to 5
The biggest riser on this board, and the only other 2-0 team here. A 34-18 opener, then a defensive stop to hold on 28-26 against Legacy.
It cannot play for a title. It is also winning, and the alternative was leaving one-loss and two-loss teams above it.
Liberty falls five without playing
Mater Academy East Las Vegas holds at 6 at 1-0 and idle. Victor Valley of California visits Friday.
Liberty of Henderson did not play either, and falls to 7. The Mililani loss is two weeks old and unanswered, and three teams beneath it won while it sat. Tafuna of American Samoa visits Friday.
Faith Lutheran holds at 8 on a one point road win in California.
Manogue comes off, Arbor View does not
Arbor View falls to 9. It is 0-2, but both losses are by one score and both came out of state, 17-24 at Carlsbad and 14-20 to West of Salt Lake City. Reed falls one to 10 after losing 14-13 at home to the team now ranked second.
Bishop Manogue comes off at 0-2 with a 48-14 loss at Clovis West. Arbor View is also 0-2 and stays, because Arbor View's two losses are by a combined 13 points and Manogue's second was by 34.
