With a 12-1 conference record, Fresno City has captured a well-deserved 2021 Central Valley Conference championship. The CVC title is the Rams' first since a perfect 18-0 campaign in 2016. FCC headed into the final week of play with a two-game lead over College of the Sequoias and split a doubleheader in Fresno to secure the championship. The Rams compiled a 14-7 overall record, the 14 wins were the seventh most in the state this season. Congrats to all teams that were able to compete in such difficult circumstances this season.
