We talked to students about the excitement from tonight's rivalry playoff game and the potential for winning a state title.Â
"We're playing against Manogue tonight so we can go to state, and that's a big deal because we haven't been there in a long time," said Ayla, a Spanish Springs Student.Â
"It's pretty sick, I mean, you don't really get to see this every time. Once in a lifetime," said Kylan, a Spanish Springs Student.Â
"We're here tonight to support our boys. And I'm really hoping number 20 goes out crazy, the running back," said Easton, a Bishop Manogue Student.Â
Another team from the North will also be competing for a state title as the McQueen Lancers defeated Reno High School 31-16 to advance to the 4A State Championship, also taking place at Allegiant Stadium.Â
