The Valley Central varsity football team has won the district’s first ever Section IX Class AA championship.
The team beat Newburgh Free Academy 16-6 on Saturday, Nov. 14, at Monroe-Woodbury High School to earn the championship title.
“As a district, we are so proud of this team and its coaching staff,” Superintendent Evette Avila said. “They never gave up, even when things got tough on and off the field. They showed true character, sportsmanship and VC Pride and have represented our district and this community well every step of the way.”
Valley Central will next compete at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at Colonie High School in the Class AA state playoffs. The team it will play is still to be determined.
