San Diego’s Lincoln High School football players are state champs.

On Friday, the Hornets defeated the De La Salle Spartans from Concord, California 33-28, winning the Division 1-AA CIF State Football Championship. This is a first for the school, which has seen its share of victories and stars, but had not been able to bring home a state championship.

The team’s victory was clinched by a record four touchdowns by star running back, Roderick Robinson, Jr.
