There no doubt that Saturday’s nationally-televised game between #5 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) and #3 Cedar Hill (Texas) doesn’t need any hype.
Cedar Hill head coach Joey McGuire told me earlier this month when he joined me on the High School Football America Radio Show that this team that returns 16 starters from last year, could be one of his best. On the other side of the ball, Bishop Gorman has built its national reputation by playing and beating some of the best high school football teams from around the country over the past several years, while building a 39-game win streak, the fourth longest active streak in America.

Like Cedar Hill, the Gaels also have a star-studded line-up, led by Ohio State-bound quarterback Tate Martell, who earlier this year, eliminated all of his tweets from Twitter. Martell is back on Twitter and over the last 24 hours, Martell decided it was time to add to the Gorman/Cedar Hill hype with a couple of tweets that I’m sure have found their way into the Longhorn locker room.

I’m sure that we haven’t heard the last from Martell ahead of this one that will be shown to the nation at 9 P.M. Eastern on ESPN2.
