Pleasant Valley football regains title

Second state win in three years for high school

It’s been a great three years for Pleasant Valley High School’s football team, which landed its second state championship on Saturday (Dec. 8).

PV defeated Central Valley Christian, of Visalia, 43-14, on its home turf, Asgard Yard.

The high school’s last CIF Division 4-AA State Championship win was in 2016, when it emerged victorious against Long Beach’s St. Anthony High School.

Pleasant Valley also shared good news about its varsity cheerleading team over the weekend. For the first time in the school’s history, it will compete in the National High School Cheerleading Championship, the most competitive and prestigious cheer competition in the U.S. Last year, the squad also nabbed the school’s first United Spirit Association Nationals title.
