The Chaparral Firebirds won their first state title since 2011 with a 24-14 victory over the Highland Hawks on Saturday afternoon at Desert Vista HS.
It was a battle throughout and the Hawks threatened as they were inside the 10 midway through the fourth quarter when it was 17-14, but missed a field goal that would have tied the game.
The championship is the 7th in Chaparral's history joining those earned in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2009, 2010, and 2011.
