GAMEDAY: CENTRAL VALLEY VS. MARS When the sky turns gray and the air gets cold, you realize just how fast the season slips away. One day you’re a little kid running around in youth pads that were way too big for you, and suddenly, you’re lacing up those cleats to walk out under the Friday night lights at The Sarge for the very last time. Tonight, the clock runs out on a song your parents and families wish they could keep playing on repeat. To our seniors: when you walk under that fire truck sirens blaring and see the field appear, take a second. Look up at the bleachers and find you parents and families in the bleachers who spent years driving you to summer workouts, sitting through freezing rain, and pouring everything they had into seeing you put on that carolina helmet. Then look at the brothers standing right beside you. The ones you sweat with in the brutal heat of August, hit with in two-a-days, and went to war with every week. That brotherhood wasn't just given to you—it was built in the dirt, sweat, and blood. For one last night, give them every single drop of heart, grit, and relentless execution you’ve got inside your chest. We are playing for something far bigger than a scoreboard tonight. It is our annual Pink Out game as we stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the fight against breast cancer. We also carry heavy hearts as we honor the legacy of Coach Ed Dawson from Cornell High School. Every dollar from tonight’s 50/50 drawing will go directly to support his family in their time of loss. Families, bring the tissues. Boys, hold on to every second. When the final whistle sounds and the dust settles, walk off that turf knowing you gave this program every ounce of your soul and left a legacy that time can't wash away. Kickoff: 7:00 PM | The Sarge Wear: PINK 🩷 #CVWarriors #WarriorNation #BoysOfFall #Relentless #SeniorNight #PinkOut #CommunityFirst @CoachLyonsCVfb @Coach_Tiz @WPIAL_Insider @wpialsportsnews @PA_TodaySports @BREAL412 @mwhiteburgh @TribLiveHSSN @EthanMorrsion26 @warriors_cv @DonChed54 @MarsHSFootball @PrepRedzonePA @7Twice @210ths @ShaneCheckan @Elite_Athletix_

Unfinished business. That is how last season ended. No winners, no closure, just a scoreboard locked in a tie and a championship left hanging in the air. Today, that changes. Tonight, under the lights at Historic Monaca Stadium, the Central Valley Middle School Warriors step back onto the turf to settle the score against Beaver Falls. Every yard tonight will be bought with sweat and earned in the dirt. Games like this aren't won in the headlines. They are won down in the trenches. Up front, the Warriors are anchored by an absolute powerhouse offensive line: Weston Fitzgerald, "Big Dogg" Tyler Bosco, and Lucas "Yumms" Leonard. They set the tone, control the line of scrimmage, and clear the path. When that path opens, the fireworks start. Get ready to watch Grady "Money" McKim and Mookie Betters ignite the offense and turn up the tempo. When the ball is in their hands, anything can happen. Make your plans now. Wear your Carolina Blue and Navy. Pack the stands and bring the noise from the opening kickoff to the final whistle. After the battle, make sure to support the sponsors who back our boys. Stop in beautiful downtown Monaca and grab a post game snack from Big Shot Bob’s or Comfortable Yumm to re-fuel. Game Details: Matchup: Central Valley MS vs. Beaver Falls Date: Tonight, Wednesday, September 9, 2026 Kickoff: 7:00 PM Location: Historic Monaca Field Come early. Be loud. Let’s finish what we started. #CentralValley #WarriorsFootball #CVMS #GameDay #WarriorPride #MonacaPA @warriors_cv @EthanMorrsion26 @WilliamsEl98626

Last week was just the beginning. Under the Friday night lights, our seniors guided this young, hungry squad on a Bobcat hunt and accomplished the mission. But relentless competitors do not celebrate. They reset. They hunt again. This time Antelopes... Tonight, bitter nemesis Avonworth steps onto our turf, and they are walking right into the storm. Last week, the Field General Braddock Ambrose and receiver Antonio Perri sent shockwaves across the entire WPIAL. They put everyone on notice that they are here to ball out, take over, and leave zero doubt. But electricity requires a powerhouse. That fire starts in the dark trenches. Our offensive and defensive lines grind down every inch, push back every challenge, and pave the path to victory. Their effort is absolute. Their resilience is undeniable. Warriors do not hope for an outcome. They dictate it. We Own the Result. Warriors, the stands must be deafening. To our student section: attendance is mandatory. Fill your seats, bring the chaos from the first snap, and make The Sarge an absolute nightmare for anyone wearing red and white. Game Details Matchup: Central Valley Warriors vs. Avonworth Antelopes Location: Sarge Alberts Stadium ("The Sarge") Kickoff: Tonight (9/4) at 7:00 PM Show up. Stand tall.

The dark hours of the offseason are over. The work in the shadows is done. Tonight, under the lights, there is nowhere left to hide. Rivalry week is here, and the Beaver Bobcats are walking into our house. This is not just another season opener. This is a statement. Our seniors have set a relentless standard for a young, hungry squad ready to hunt. They do not hope for success. They take it. The Field General, Braddock Ambrose, is back under center to finish what was started. Battles are decided in the trenches, and our offensive and defensive fronts are locked down by senior anchors Roman Boring and Bussie Parrish. When the pressure peaks, resilient men do not flinch. They execute. They dominate. No excuses. No second chances. We Own the Result. Warriors, pack the stands. Students, we need you loud, relentless, and electric from the opening kickoff to the final whistle. Make The Sarge shake.

Ranked among the top 50 returning players in the entire Beaver Valley, Madox Skrlac is proving that leverage, heart, and pure work ethic beat raw size every single day. As a sophomore, he anchored the Central Valley Warriors offensive line, earning Western Hills All-Conference honors. He plays low, hits hard, and finishes blocks. He is built for coaches who value tough, disciplined trench play.
