Super 25 recap: Bishop Gorman's thrilling win, upsets fuel a busy Week 1

Week 1 on the high school football season is close to being in the books.

A handful of Super 25 teams took the field Thursday, Aug. 20, and Friday, Aug. 21, and let's just say, there were plenty of fireworks from top to bottom.

This week's undisputed game of the week delivered as No. 2 St. John Bosco and No. 3 Bishop Gorman put on an instant classic. Bishop Gorman led by as many as 21 before St. John Bosco slammed its foot on the gas, eventually evening the game at 28-28 with just less than 10 minutes to play. However, the Gaels ultimately prevailed in a 38-28 win.

No. 1 IMG Academy (FL) looked every bit the part of being the top squad in the country, handling Lone Peak (UT) in a 59-3 blowout.

No. 13 Baylor School (TN) kicked things off on ESPN2, beating No. 18 Brentwood Academy (TN) by three scores by an impressive performance from Tennessee 5-star RB commit David Gabriel Georges.

No. 18 Creekside (GA) competed with Clay-Chalkville (AL), taking a one-score game in the fourth quarter before falling 29-20 in a marathon-of-a-game riddled with weather delays.

No. 23 American Heritage (FL) could not get its offense going with 4-star Texas QB commit Neimann Lawrence, who completed 12 of 25 passes with a pair of interceptions in a 24-7 loss to West Boca Raton (FL). The Bulls had faced No. 19 Carol City in a kickoff classic last week, falling 24-23 in overtime.

No. 24 Anderson (OH) could not handle the offense of Trinity (KY), which hung just under 60 points on the Raptors in a 59-13 drubbing.
