Central Valley looking for return to glory
The visiting Warriors are hopeful for a return to the WPIAL's Class 4A championship game this year.
Since the district was established in 2009 when Monaca and Center merged together, Central Valley has been a powerhouse in the WPIAL.
Head coach Mark Lyons has led the team to five WPIAL titles and two PIAA state championships in 14 years.
Montour continuing to make progress
For the Montour Spartans and head coach Lou Cerro, building on progress is the name of the game.
From a record of 4-7 in 2021 to 7-5 in 2022, Montour finished last season with a record of 10-2 and made it the WPIAL 4A Semifinals.
Aliquippa will be fierce competition in the Parkway Conference, but Montour returns a number of starters to a team that showed massive growth in recent years.
Montour has won five WPIAL titles in its history, but the only one in recent years came in 2011.
