High School Football Picks: State championship

Mon, Nov 26, 2018 (12:39 p.m.)

A tremendous performance decided each of the state semifinal games last week.

For Bishop Gorman, junior quarterback Micah Bowens erupted for 387 total yards and four touchdowns in a 42-28 win over Liberty. For Bishop Manogue, senior running back Peyton Dixon went off for 332 yards and four touchdowns in a 42-34 win over Arbor View.
