Two first-quarter touchdowns proved to be the difference as Haynesville defeated Mangham, 16-0 in the 2014 Allstate Sugar Bowl/LHSAA Class 1A State Championship game Friday night.

Senior James Jackson returned a blocked field goal 73 yards for a touchdown. Later Keandre Harris returned a Mangham punt 86 yards for the second score.
