"In a town where you can make your own luck or can sink further into an abyss, Mater Dei High dug deep, wiped away memories from a loss last week and answered a gut-check call to come away with a 27-24 road victory over Bishop Gorman on Friday night. Coach Raul Lara brought up the word "resurrection" during a postgame huddle with his players."
"Friday's performance against an unbeaten Bishop Gorman team saw Mater Dei turn to two of its preseason All-Americans on offense, tight end Mark Bowman and receiver Chris Henry Jr. Bowman had touchdown catches of 29 and 36 yards. Henry had two touchdown catches, including the game-winner with 6:06 left from 37 yards. Quarterback Ryan Hopkins, bouncing back from turnovers last week, kept firing away against a strong Bishop Gorman defense,"
Mater Dei High recovered from a disappointing 43-36 loss the previous week and earned a 27-24 road win over unbeaten Bishop Gorman. Coach Raul Lara used the term "resurrection" to describe the victory. Turnovers had dogged Mater Dei after seven miscues against Corona Centennial, raising doubts about the team's national standing. Offense leaned on preseason All-Americans Mark Bowman and Chris Henry Jr.; Bowman caught two TD passes (29 and 36 yards) while Henry caught two, including the 37-yard game-winner with 6:06 remaining. Quarterback Ryan Hopkins rebounded from prior turnovers to distribute to his receivers and maintain confidence.
