Rosh Hashanna has pushed the vast majority of the area’s high school football games to Saturday this week. Here’s a look at some of the top matchups and storylines for Week 2.

Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty to a first-degree murder charge Friday following his indictment in the killing of a friend authorities say was shot five times in an industrial park.
One game into the season, Peyton Manning appears unstoppable and the Denver Broncos are back with a vengeance and about to bring some serious pain to every opponent in their way. Maybe that’s an overreaction.
Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos waited eight long months, then another 33 minutes, to get the season started. A record-tying seven touchdown passes — something no one had done in 44 years — made it worth the while.
Joe Flacco looms larger than life in Denver, and not just because he engineered the stunning playoff upset with his 70-yard touchdown throw to Jacoby Jones that tied it at 35 with 31 seconds left in regulation.
After an offseason of playing defense, the NFL returns to action tonight, the bright stadium lights in Denver illuminating a sport in the midst of change, on and off the field.
Maybe UNLV football fans shouldn’t feel so bad. The Mountain West had a horrible start to the season, erasing for now any positive feelings about the quality of the conference.
At least four former UNLV football players will be suiting up on Sundays this season, after NFL teams made final cuts on Saturday.
Root for Alabama to win a third straight national title in football? Please, let’s just get it done and move on to 2014 when Nick Saban still will be crabby but the Bowl Championship Series will be no more.
The Atlanta Falcons waived Brian Banks, the linebacker who was attempting to make a late start to his NFL career after spending five years in prison on a conviction that was later overturned.
Uncle Si of “Duck Dynasty” is 65 and struggles staying on task, so he often takes midday naps and plays with the security equipment around the family business. I officially am nominating him as special teams coach for UNLV’s football team.
Kevin Volcic wasn’t exactly sure what to expect in his first game as Bonanza’s coach Friday, but he did know he had a key number working in his favor.
The first Boulder City defender met Mojave’s Ty Flanagan 5 yards deep in the end zone, but the junior running back kept on chugging. He shrugged off an attempted arm tackle at the 5 and then bulled past another tackler at the 10, and there was no catching him, as he was off for a 99-yard touchdown run.
Bishop Gorman football coach Tony Sanchez couldn’t have scripted a better start or finish to the first half of the home game against Servite (Calif.) on Friday night.
After 10 underclassmen left for the NFL and eight players from the defense got drafted, few publications put LSU in the preseason top 10. But it says here the demise of the Tigers is greatly exaggerated.
