Central Valley’s Myles Walker celebrates after catching a first down pass during the third quarter of the PIAA Class 3A state championship game against Wyomissing Area on Friday, Nov. 27, 2020, at Hersheypark Stadium.
Much like during the season, Central Valley again stood atop the Northwestern Six, this time in the all-conference voting.
The undefeated WPIAL and PIAA champions earned 14 first-team spots in the Northwestern Six and swept the individual awards as well in a vote of conference coaches.
The Warriors won every game by the mercy rule except the state finals.
Central Valley’s Myles Walker was named the conference’s top offense player, Stephon Hall received the defensive award and Sean FitzSimmons was named the top lineman on both sides of the ball.
Keystone Oaks was second with seven first-team picks.
