Had the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association only known, it could have made a fortune on tickets to the Division I high school football state championship game in Reno.
Multiple media outlets reported that the No. 1-ranked high school team in the nation, Las Vegas' Bishop Gorman, trounced Reed High School of Sparks 70-28 to cap a 15-0 season and win the mythical high school national championship on Saturday.
But even that took a back seat to events that transpired in the Bishop Gorman cheering section of the stadium. The iconic Muhammad Ali and Snoop Dogg were spotted sitting together during a portion of the game as proud family members of Bishop Gorman players.
Ali's grandson, Biaggio Ali Walsh, is a sophomore running back for the team and scored two second-half touchdowns on runs of 34 and 91 yards. He finished with 137 yards and two scores on four carries, the Las Vegas Sun reported.

Snoop Dogg's son, senior wide receiver Cordell Broadus, also scored twice, collecting a 6-yard touchdown pass on the second play of the game, and he added a 14-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.
Broadus is a four-star Rivals.com recruit who has scholarship offers from Florida State, Baylor, Notre Dame, UCLA and USC, to name a few schools.
Ali Walsh's Vine account includes video of the two legendary entertainment figures huddled together for the game as Snoop Dogg leans over and says something in Ali's ear that bemuses Snoop and seems to put a smile on Ali's face.
The appearance by Ali is fantastic news after reports in October said the "Greatest of All Time" boxer's health was failing and was near death. Ali, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease 30 years ago.
His family went public quickly to refute those rumors.
