Outlook: The Central Valley Falcons will be playing on new field turf, and they add new opponent-side bleachers as well as an entire spruced up facility. All this positive development as the school slowly loses enrollment. Central Valley High School is committed to their football program. Coach Matt Hunsaker says the falcons will have an experienced offensive line and a lot of depth at the running back position. The talented 8-2 junior varsity squad will add to an already experienced group of returning players. The challenge for the Falcons is to take that talent and experience to join it together into one mean football machine. Hansaker wants his players to learn that football is a team sport, not an individual sport. But that's the sort of thing that Coach Hansaker is known for – developing young players to learn and grow together as the season progresses.
