In 2010, Monaca and Center High Schools merged to form Central Valley High School, creating a new chapter while carrying forward the legacy of both storied programs. The newly formed Central Valley Warriors baseball team continues to honor the traditions, work ethic, and success of its predecessors.

Today, the Warriors compete in the WPIAL, representing a unified community and the combined history of two proud baseball legacies—one built on postseason glory, the other on decades of consistency and character. Every pitch, swing, and inning played by the Warriors carries with it the spirit of Monaca and Center baseball.

While Monaca was making its mark, nearby Center High School was assembling a baseball dynasty of its own. Center captured back-to-back WPIAL titles in 1989 and 1990, dominating district competition in Class AA. That momentum carried over in 1990 when Center reached the pinnacle of Pennsylvania high school baseball by winning the 1990 PIAA Class AA State Championship.

This state title was the ultimate validation of Center’s baseball excellence—highlighting a team built on toughness, teamwork, and championship-caliber execution. The 1990 state championship remains one of the proudest achievements in the school’s athletic history.
