Bishop Gorman's season began a little slowly, losing two of their first five games...albeit to national powers Hamilton (AZ) and De La Salle (CA), but they saved their best for last to claim its second straight 4A title.

The Gaels beat McQueen 40-0 behind quarterback Jarrett Solomon, who according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal sat at the first quarter for missing a practice earlier in the week.  Solomon threw three touchdown passes to give him 41 for the season.

Defending 4A champ Bishop Gorman will square-off with McQueen Saturday to decide who's the best this season.

Gorman, which is looking for its third title in four years, has been on a roll since beginning the season nationally-ranked and then losing two games to two other nationally-ranked programs...Hamilton (AZ) and De La Salle (CA).

McQueen, on the other hand, is no slouch itself. The Lancers have won six state titles over the last two decades.
