Nevada Preps football predictions: How will Gorman fare in Florida showdown?
Bishop Gorman’s recent 38‑28 victory over St. John Bosco of California, a team ranked No. 1 in the MaxPreps federation, has sparked the usual post‑win curiosity about a possible letdown in the next outing. The Gaels are now set to travel across the country to Fort Lauderdale, where they will meet Columbus at 11 a.m. PT on Saturday as part of the Broward County High School National Football Showcase. ESPN2 will carry the game nationally, and forecasters predict hot, humid conditions with a chance of thunderstorms.
Those environmental elements could turn the contest into a demanding challenge for any squad, potentially making it the toughest test Bishop Gorman faces this season.
Local high‑school reporters Alex Wright and Jeff Wollard have released their weekly picks for Southern Nevada prep football action.
