Gorman crushes Arbor View to win 5th straight state title — PHOTOS
Summary
Bishop Gorman dominated Arbor View 44-7 to capture the inaugural Open Division state championship at Allegiant Stadium on 25 November 2025. The Gaels secured their fifth consecutive state crown and 22nd overall, continuing a decade-plus of dominance in Nevada high-school football.
Senior quarterback Maika Eugenio finished his high-school career with a standout performance: 20 of 27 for 303 yards and five touchdowns (218 yards and four TDs came in the first half). Gorman led 28-0 at half after scoring on four of its first five drives. Defence and special teams helped stifle Arbor View early; the Aggies managed a late fourth-quarter touchdown from QB Thaddeus Thatcher but could not threaten the scoreline.

Author’s take
Punchy and to the point: this was classic Gorman — clinical offence, tight coaching and a defence that took over when it mattered. Coach Brent Browner credits his coordinators and the program’s continuity; Eugenio leaves as a winner and the Gaels leave another legacy on state football.
