Bishop Gorman continued its incredible streak of state championships with a 10-0 win over Green Valley in the 4A Nevada State Championship game on Saturday. The impressive streak dates back to 2006 and matches the longest streak in the state's history by a large school, matching Green Valley's run of dominance in the 1990s.
Bishop Gorman head coach Nick Day was a player on those Green Valley teams, and after serving as an assistant during Gorman's run, now becomes the second head coach to lead the Gaels to a championship during the incredible run.
Bishop Gorman finished the season on a 21 game winning streak to finish at 36-4. The Gaels' roster suggests that the streak could continue over the next few years as well. Though they will graduate key players in C Erik Van Meetren and RHP/SS
TJ White, they will return a lot talent, highlighted by one of the top juniors in the nation in 3B
Joey Gallo.
