Central Valley’s competitive stunt cheer program has accomplished a lot during its four years of existence.

The Hawks set a team record for victories in a season this spring with 14.

Central Valley made history by claiming its second straight league title, amassing a perfect record against conference competition and reaching the semifinals of the playoffs.

“I’m extremely proud and still on cloud nine,” head coach Erika Guillory said. “Blessed to coach an amazing group of athletes.”

Erika Guillory praised the efforts of all 27 of her student-athletes, including Jaelyn Acevedo Ruiz, Elizabeth Arevalos, Ally Balancio, Valeeya Carr, Yadira Escorcia, Savannah Garcia, Valeria Garcia, Zitlali Garcia, Itzel Gonzalez, Faith Guillory, Keidis Jauregui, Stephanie Lopez, Janelle Magallanes, Ella Mordinoai, Aaliyah Muriset, Nicole Parshall, Viviana Ramirez, Kaily Reyes, Thalia Robertson, Kyndal Shaw, Aaliyah Smith, Kyla Stevens, Liliana Teng, Madilyn Teng, Madilyn Valentine, Benicca Zhu and Lailah Zuniga.

“While victorious results are always the primary external objective, I wanted to prioritize the process, effort, skills, and habits required to achieve success over the final scoreboard,” coach Guillory said.

Led by Keidis Jauregui, Thalia Robertson, Valeeya Carr, Faith Guillory, Zitlali Garcia, Savannah Garcia, Kaily Reyes and Lailah Zuniga, Central Valley amassed a 14-1 overall record, placed first in the Western Athletic Conference standings with a perfect 12-0 mark and won two of three matches en route to a top-four finish in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division-II playoffs this year.

“Keys to this season was engraving in each athlete success is earned not given,” Erika Guillory said. “Reminding them there’s always room for growth and to do something better than before. Ensuring them if each person does their job, we will be successful. Everyone had a part to play in the process and road to success.”

Central Valley earned wins versus Ceres High (27-6, 31-8), East Union (29-27, 22-19), Lathrop (26-17, 27-12), Livingston (24-0, 31-7), Mountain House (27-17, 24-12) and Pacheco (15-0, 23-1) during the WAC season.

The Hawks improved their head-to-head record versus the crosstown-rival Bulldogs to 5-0.

“Honored to be the league champions for the second year and thankful for the group of girls who trusted me in the process of getting there,” Erika Guillory said.

Fifth-seeded Central Valley opened the playoffs with a 27-8 win against the 12th-seeded Golden Valley Cougars on April 29 in Ceres.

The Hawks edged the fourth-seeded Summerville Bears 28-27 in the quarterfinals on the road on May 1.

Visiting Central Valley lost 16-3 to the top-seeded/eventual section-champion Twelve Bridges Rhinos in the semifinals on May 2.

“Winning and progressing in the playoffs is always ideal, but not the ultimate goal,” coach Guillory said. “Each win was a blessing and a testament of the hard work being put in. Our ultimate goal this year was to do something better than before. A skill, a point, a personal goal, a step further.”

The Hawks accomplished three firsts in 2024-25 by winning a league title, home playoff match and playoff contest.

Central Valley compiled what was then a program-best 11-1 overall record, finished first in the Valley Oak League with an 8-0 mark and qualified for the Division-II playoffs.

The sixth-seeded Hawks bested the 11th-seeded Union Mine Diamondbacks 20-8 at home in the opening round of the playoffs.

Central Valley lost 15-0 to the third-seeded/section-finalist Roseville Tigers in the quarterfinals at Galt High School.

Central Valley secured victories against East Union (19-9, 20-10, 18-10), Lathrop (16-8, 20-6), Mountain House (16-8, 20-4) and Ceres High (24-10) during VOL play.

The 2025-26 Hawks will lose seven senior athletes to graduation, including Elizabeth Arevalos, Itzel Gonzalez, Keidis Jauregui, Nicole Parshall, Kaily Reyes, Aaliyah Smith and Lailah Zuniga.

“They have left big shoes to fill and will be extremely missed,” Erika Guillory said.

“Hoping we continue the momentum and keep building a strong successful foundation each year,” she added.
