Mater Dei Upsets No. 1 Bishop Gorman 27-24 on the Road

The road win restores Mater Dei’s national-title hopes after last week’s upset loss.

Overview

  • Ryan Hopkins threw for 245 yards and three touchdowns, including a 37-yard strike to Chris Henry Jr. with 6:06 left that put Mater Dei ahead for good.
  • Mater Dei sealed the win with a fourth-and-3 stop inside the final minute at Fertitta Field, handing Bishop Gorman its first loss of the season.
  • Chris Henry Jr. finished with 128 receiving yards and a pair of scores, and tight end Mark Bowman added two touchdown receptions and 95 yards.
  • Bishop Gorman quarterback Maika Eugenio passed for 289 yards with two touchdowns and a rushing score, but a missed 47-yard field goal and late drive stalled.
  • The result moves Mater Dei to 3-1 and Gorman to 4-1, extends Mater Dei’s series lead to 5-0, draws coach Brent Browner’s public mea culpa, and is expected to shake up next week’s national rankings.
