Challenge after challenge, Booker T. Washington High School never seems to show any week points in their game. The Tornadoes entered their game against 20th ranked Bishop Gorman with a 5-0 record and the top slot in the DigitalSports National Football Rankings.
Even with their long travel from Miami to Las Vegas, Washington did not miss a beat. After scoring the first touchdown of the game, the Tornadoes continued pressing on the gas, leading 14-6 by the half. Then, in a short change of momentum, Gorman’s running game stepped up to bring the Gaels within two points of Washington in the third quarter.
Going into the final quarter ahead only 14-12, the Tornadoes knew that they had to be flawless. They were just that, starting with Terry Jefferson recovering a fumble to start the fourth. After driving down field, senior quarterback Treon Harris rushed in from 11 yards out to make it 21-12.
Washington finished the game with one more touchdown when Treon Harris found Lamar Parker for a 35-yard score. At the final whistle, Washington led the Gaels 28-12.
Harris finished with three passing touchdowns to add to his rushing score. Lamar Parker complimented his touchdown with three catches for 65 yards.
