The Gaels have shown they can dominate, with an average of 68.7 points per game, outscoring their opponents by an average of 225 points throughout the season.

Key players like Kingston Carmona have been a huge part of Bishop Gorman’s success, with Carmona leading the team in scoring and setting the pace on the court.

The team has faced some tough opponents, such as Liberty, Foothill, and Spring Valley, winning all of these matchups by impressive margins.

Coronado: Struggling But Competitive

On the other side, Coronado has had a much more challenging season, with a 5-10 record overall and a 3-1 mark in league play. While they are competitive, with notable wins over teams like Durango, the Cougars have struggled, especially in non-league play, where they have just one win from seven attempts.

Coronado’s offense has been less potent, averaging 63.1 points per game, but they have shown resilience in some high-scoring moments. The team’s strongest period is the third quarter, where they average 17.5 points, helping them to stay competitive as they close out games. However, the Cougars have struggled to maintain consistency, especially in their away games, where they have an overall 0-1 record.

Despite these challenges, Coronado has proven their ability to compete, with a 3-2 record against common opponents. These include tough matchups against teams like Sierra Vista, Silverado, and Las Vegas, where Coronado managed to pull off solid victories.

Looking ahead, Bishop Gorman seems poised to extend its dominance as they take on more league and non-league opponents. Coronado, while struggling, will have to dig deep to capitalize on any opportunities and turn their season around with key wins over upcoming opponents.

Looking Ahead

For both teams, their next few weeks will be critical. Bishop Gorman will look to maintain their unbeaten league record as they face off against teams like Arbor View, Durango, and Roosevelt. Coronado, on the other hand, has a tough road ahead with games against Sierra Vista, Silverado, and more crucial league contests. The Cougars will need to rebound quickly, as every game matters in their effort to finish strong.
