The senior QB also ran for two scores in his standout performance. Rogers has been one of the most improved and productive passers in the state this season showing his athleticism, ability to extend plays, and his accuracy down the field. Faith Lutheran comes into the 5A D-II state championship with a chance to finish undefeated on the season- they'll face Bishop Manogue on Saturday at McQueen HS.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/qCUHS0e0kn">https://t.co/qCUHS0e0kn</a><br><br>Great win against Shadow Ridge in the state semifinal.

The #1-RB in Nevada's sophomore class showed his physicality and contact balance bouncing off tackles and racking up yards after contact. Bell's ceded some carries to senior RB <strong>Sean</strong> <strong>Moore</strong> this season but continues to flash his playmaking ability out of the backfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Running through the smoke and Protecting the Rolex <a href="https://t.co/Ipo4MeL1QM">pic.twitter.com/Ipo4MeL1QM</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='940576' first='Kamareion' last='Bell'] (@KamareionBell) <a href="https://twitter.com/KamareionBell/status/1858335610194498023?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 18, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["917750"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673f07178c2cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eugenio threw for 297 yards and 4 TDs in Bishop Gorman's 49-3 win over Liberty in the 5A D-I state semis. Nevada's top-ranked passer in the 2026 class showed the touch and finesse in his arm fitting into tight windows up the seams and moved well in the pocket. Eugenio has been operating at a high level over the past two months with 24 TDs and only 1 INT since Gorman's loss to Mater Dei in September. The Gaels will take on Arbor View in the 5A D-I final on 11/16 at Allegiant Stadium. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Semi-Finals Team Win!!

The #3-WR in PRZ NV's 2026 class showed his speed and fluidity as a route-runner getting open on several vertical routes. Watson's had a relatively quiet statistical season but remains one of the top playmaking athletes in Vegas. Look for Watson to carry the momentum into the Gaels' state championship matchup with Arbor View on Tuesday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Breakout Game semi-playoff game 7 rec 188yds 1td, Player of the Game vs Liberty.<br> - <a href="https://t.co/0BEPzRaf5k">https://t.co/0BEPzRaf5k</a> <br>⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/BlairAngulo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BlairAngulo</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a>⁩ ⁦⁦⁦⁦⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/HowlinHusky?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HowlinHusky</a>⁩ <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachOmura?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachOmura</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneNV?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneNV</a>⁩ ⁦⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/kyleyoung_BSU?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kyleyoung_BSU</a>⁩</p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1110876' first='Kaina' last='Watson'] 3⭐️ (@4_kaina) <a href="https://twitter.com/4_kaina/status/1858200289469473117?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 17, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1110877"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673f07178c344"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mason recorded 18 solo tackles and 5 TFLs in Faith Lutheran's 5A D-II state semifinal win over Shadow Ridge. The versatile junior showed his physicality as a tackler around the end of the LOS and made a highlight hustle-play from across the field to save a TD. Mason's a lanky but physical defender with promising length and ability to tackle on the perimeter. The Southern League champs will take on Northern champ Bishop Manogue in the 5A D-II final this Saturday at McQueen HS.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hawk Down!!
