Southern Nevada Class 4A football rankings

1. Silverado (3-0)

2. Shadow Ridge (2-1)

3. Desert Oasis (3-0)

4. Clark (3-0)

5. Coronado (1-1)

Around 4A: Silverado wasn’t sharp offensively, but Donavyn Pellot’s two interception returns for touchdowns helped it defeat Sierra Vista 36-7. … Shadow Ridge had its game against Palo Verde canceled last week and hosts Desert Oasis this week in a contrast of styles. Desert Pines quarterback Tyler Stott threw seven touchdown passes in a 51-12 win over Bonanza last week. Shadow Ridge won’t throw seven passes in a game if it can avoid it. … Clark, which hosts Spring Valley, continued its dominating ways with a 34-6 win over Cimarron-Memorial and has outscored its three opponents 127-6. … Coronado gets a chance to make a statement on the road against Silverado after a 35-14 loss to Class 5A Green Valley.
