Central Valley’s girls tennis team made program history this past week.

The Hawks won their first-ever league title.

“We’ve had some good girls tennis teams,” head coach Nimrat Chahal said. “This is our first conference championship. All credit goes to the girls. They’re the ones out there playing and competing. They don’t’ quit.”

Central Valley improved to 12-0 overall and 11-0 in the Western Athletic Conference standings after topping Pacheco, Johansen and Livingston.

“Our goal this year was to win a league championship,” Chahal said. “They were able to accomplish that, which is awesome. They knew what was on the line and competed to get it. We’re still trying to accomplish more.”

Central Valley won the WAC title outright after topping Pacheco 8-1 on Thursday in Ceres.

“We’re definitely not a tennis school,” Chahal said. “To be able to win a league championship is an awesome feeling. It’s cool because the girls deserve it. They work hard.”
