The Incline High football team is heading to their first state championship game since 1981.  The Highlanders won an incredibly tough state semi final game last Saturday down in Needles, CA.  Incline is the #2 seed in northern NV so they traveled to the border of NV, CA and AZ to play against the #1 seeded Needles Mustangs.  They defeated the Mustangs 12-8 in a hard defensive battle.  Senior Quarterback Tommy Williams ran for 2 touchdowns and the Highlander defense held Needles to one touchdown.

Now, Incline is trying to win their first State Title since 1973 on Saturday November 23 at 10am at McQueen High School.  The Highlanders will play undefeated league rival Pershing County.  Both Incline and Pershing County are both undefeated because they didn’t get to play each other this season due to the Davis Fire in September.
