Las Vegas, NV – High school football is heating up as Week 11 approaches, with critical matchups on Friday that could influence playoff positioning.

Foothill is also favored over Faith Lutheran by both predictors. However, in a closely contested matchup, Alex Wright predicts Arbor View will triumph against Las Vegas High, while Jeff Wollard leans towards Las Vegas for the victory.
