OVERTON -- Moapa Valley hasn't won three consecutive state football championships since the 1960s.

That could change Saturday, when the Pirates play for a third straight Class 3-A state title against Truckee (Calif.) at 3 p.m. at Damonte Ranch High in Reno.

The chance to make history is not lost on Moapa Valley's senior class.

"It'd be huge for our town," senior linebacker/fullback Jake Pearce said. "It'd be one of the biggest things for me to accomplish. It'd be great to bring to Moapa and for the community."

The Pirates (7-3) routed Truckee (11-0) in last year's title game, 35-16.

But the Wolverines could be better this season, having pitched four shutouts and outscored opponents 525-60. Truckee averages more than 203 yards rushing per game, but no one had more than 63.
