Sports Leadership and Management Academy, or SLAM, beat Truckee (California) 34-30 in the Nevada 3A high school football championship at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Truckee entered the game on a 34-game win streak after winning back-to-back state championships.
SLAM is led by former San Francisco 49ers kicker Mike Cofer, who won two Super Bowls in 1989 and 1990.
"At this point in my life, this is way better than winning a Super Bowl."
