Friday’s Nevada Preps top five football games to watch

Shadow Ridge and Centennial will meet in a critical Division I West League game with playoff implications, as the winner will earn the No. 2 seed and a home crossover game in the Superintendents Cup tournament. Shadow Ridge, coming off two straight losses, plans to rely on its ground attack led by running back Isaiah Jones, who averages 91 yards per game, to wear down the Bulldogs. Defensively, the Mustangs must contain Centennial quarterback Blake Nadler to prevent a high-scoring affair, as Nadler has thrown 21 touchdown passes this season and Centennial poses a significant threat in a shootout.

In the Division I East League, second-ranked Patriots will host fifth-ranked Coronado in a game that will determine seeding for the Superintendents Cup, with the winner earning the top seed and a home crossover semifinal. The Patriots, who have shut out three of their last four opponents, will look to quarterback Madden Delacruz to establish an early lead, while Coronado will depend on running back Matthias Rantissi, who rushed for 200 yards and five touchdowns in his last game, to control the tempo and keep Liberty’s offense off the field.

Green Valley’s quarterback Michael Lewis completed 19 of 22 passes for 350 yards and five touchdowns in a recent performance, highlighting the team’s offensive capability in Division II West play.
