'We are the Champions' music was blaring in their parade out of a sheriff's office heavy-duty vehicle with streets blocked off for the marching band, cheerleaders, and law enforcement to make their way through the city.
"It's crazy because they're literally making history," Jadin Hernandez, sister of running back Lemar Vaughn, said. "The team has never gone to the state championships. It's great getting to watch him play and watching his accomplishments and seeing him kind of live out his dream and what he wants to do and he's so passionate about it. It's really nice to get to see him really happy and thriving with what he's doing."
"It's just amazing to watch your grandson do this," Grahek said. "And for the history of Sonora, I mean, they've never had this happen. I'm speechless because it's amazing."
"It's a big deal for the community," Greg Marfil, dad of Levi, the team's equipment manager, said. "We're a small, tight-knit community way up in the mountains and not a lot of people know we're here. We get frequently mistaken for Sonoma. But, it's really important. Football is a great unifier, everybody loves to get behind these kids. They work so hard for so long. Two back-to-back state championships and they kept getting moved up in divisions, making it harder for them but they just kept fighting through it and fighting through it. The community is just really behind these kids."
"He was part of something greater than himself," Machele Marfil, Levi's mom, said. "So, he absolutely enjoyed the team and enjoyed the environment. And the energy was phenomenal, even through playoffs."
The Marfils saw the course of the season and how the team fought through a difficult schedule.
Junior tackle Ezekiel Orweller lines up on both sides of the ball, on offense and defense. Orweller said it means a lot and that "it's nice to have everybody support us."
"Feels amazing," Orweller said. "I'm super happy, my parents are happy, the community's happy, try to make them happy."
"Takes a lot of effort to do it," Orweller said. "We work hard, we work as a team. We do what we can do to win."
Win. That's indeed what this football team has become accustomed to. With Yosemite National Park about an hour east of this city, it's fitting that the 'Mountain Misery' team brought home another title. They're living on a mountain-top, El Capitan-type experience, and they're not looking back.
