Warren De La Salle beat Muskegon Mona Shores on Friday to win Michigan's Division 2 high school state championship. You probably missed this over the holiday weekend, because you probably don't follow Michigan high school sports -- and nor should you, really.

But what you do need to be aware of is the De La Salle player who gleefully told the world -- or at least a local Fox affiliate -- that he THINKS HE GOT HIS SWAGGER BACK! OHHHH! OHHHHH! in a hometown TV news report for the ages.

First, here's the Vine of De La Salle's number-39 declaring his return to swag. The clip has, as they say, gone viral over the past day, and it's easy to see why.

That magic moment comes from the local news video embedded below, but is just one of many highlights. From the elderly woman who tailgated before a high school football game, to the goofy reporter, to the crazed De La Salle players, it's a true classic that is well worth your two minutes and 34 seconds.

The young man who thinks he got his swagger back (ohhh! ohhhh!) is named Jah'wuan Nelson, according to multiple reports, and he seems to be enjoying his newfound Internet fame.

Nelson's immortal line has even become a miniature meme of sorts.

So just where did Nelson reacquire said swagger? The state championship seems to be the obvious answer -- but his Twitter profile offers another clue. There, he lists his location as "@ yo momma house".
