Las Vegas, NV – The Bishop Gorman High School football team continues its dominance this season with a stellar record of 7-1 following a decisive victory against Mojave, where they shut out their opponent with a score of 58-0. This remarkable win marks the Gaels’ second consecutive game without allowing any points, highlighting their formidable defense, which has averaged only 10.9 points allowed per game this season.
As they prepare for their next matchup against Somerset Academy-Losee, which has struggled throughout the season with an 0-8 record, Bishop Gorman is positioned as a significant favorite. The game is scheduled for Friday, October 17, at 7 p.m. PT. The contrast in team performance could not be starker, with Somerset Academy-Losee enduring nine straight losses, while the Gaels are currently ranked No. 6 in the USA TODAY Sports Super 25 Football Rankings.
Leading the charge for Bishop Gorman is quarterback Maika Eugenio, a three-star quarterback committed to the University of Hawaii. His impressive skills were on full display in the game against Mojave, where he completed 71.4% of his passes, accumulating 212 yards and throwing four touchdowns. So far this season, Eugenio has thrown for 2,078 yards and 25 touchdowns, maintaining a remarkable completion percentage of 71.4%.
In the previous season, Eugenio was pivotal in securing an undefeated streak for the Gaels, completing nearly 70% of his passes for a total of 2,043 yards and an impressive 31 touchdowns against only two interceptions. This consistency and effectiveness have made him a key player to watch moving forward.
In addition to the offensive prowess provided by Eugenio, wide receiver Zyren Menor has also made significant contributions, showcasing his talent with 82 receiving yards and three touchdown receptions during the victory over Mojave. The Gaels’ passing offense is robust, averaging 276.8 passing yards per game this season, making them a formidable team on the field.

In their last game, defensive efforts led to three interceptions thrown by Mojave, with players such as Jett Washington playing a crucial role. Defensive players Ocean Taufa and Prince Williams made their impact known, with Taufa recording two sacks and Williams contributing three sacks during the game.
Somerset Academy-Losee, on the other hand, relies heavily on its ground game, averaging 182.4 rushing yards per game. However, their struggles this season have not provided the necessary momentum to overcome their winless streak. The upcoming game against Bishop Gorman poses a significant challenge as they face one of the strongest programs in high school football.
The performance of key athletes across the West region is being closely monitored, with selections for the final ALL-USA West Team and the ALL-USA Football National Team to be announced in December. Athletes such as Luke Fahey from Mission Viejo, CA, Kamden Lopati from Utah, and Talan Speir from Arizona are also being considered among potential standout players this season.
As Bishop Gorman looks ahead to its encounter with Somerset Academy-Losee, all eyes will be on Maika Eugenio to see if he can continue his high level of performance and help lead his team to yet another victory, further solidifying their standing as one of the top teams nationwide.
