SLAM Academy is in the Class 3A state title game in the fifth year of its football program.

Both teams come in at 9-2 and riding long winning streaks into the state title game. Spring Mountain has won its last eight, while Pahranagat Valley has won seven in a row. In their regular-season meeting on Aug. 26, Pahranagat Valley won easily 54-14. Pahranagat Valley has won the last two 1A titles (2019 and 2021), while Spring Mountain won in 2018.
