The Hawks improved to 17-5 on the year and remained in a tie for first place in the Western Athletic Conference standings with Central Catholic.

"We're working towards winning a league title," head coach Jordan Dickson said. "We should be able to get there as long as they keep working hard. I'm not surprised. This group of kids is talented."

The Hawks held a slim 15-12 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Central Valley set a season-high for points in a single quarter with 34 in the second period.

"I don't think we were prepared to play in the first quarter," Dickson said. "Livingston played very hard. That woke up my kids."

Central Valley outscored Pacheco 33-11 in the opening period and coasted to a 79-26 home victory on Wednesday.
