An Oakland teen from McClymonds High School is one of three kids selected to participate in the Super Bowl coin toss.

Dominic Davis was a leader on McClymonds’ football team.

He said he views football as a way to honor his family and the city of Oakland.

Dominic will join 17-year old Yesenia, who is a flag football player at her school in San Jose, and four-time “Youth of the Year” winner for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley.

She won’t get to do the actual coin flip, but in case they need her, she has been practicing.

“You have to get your thumb under…what did I say, tails never fails!,” Yesenia said.

Fun fact, tails has come up 31 times in Super Bowl coin toss history, compared to 28 times for heads.
