An 11-year win streak over Nevada high school football opponents is over for 10-time Nevada high school football champ Bishop Gorman. Friday night. Liberty, ranked No. 3 in the High School Football America Nevada Top 10, overcame a 17-3 deficit to defeat the Gaels 30-24 in overtime to capture the Desert Region championship.
After missing a field goal on its first possession of overtime, Gorman was unable to stop Liberty and force a second overtime. A 7-yard run by Zyrus Fiaseu gave the Patriots the upset victory.
