  1. ↑ With the 1982 baseball title, combined with the 1980 football and 1979 basketball championships, the high school achieved a "Triple Crown" of the three major sports at the time. It is thought that Centralia High School was the first to accomplish this feat in the state. [2]

Swamp Cup

Centralia maintains a rivalry with W.F. West High School from neighboring Chehalis known as the "Swamp Cup" or the "Battle of the Swamp." The first football matchup between the schools took place on Thanksgiving Day, 1907, and the rivalry was continued on the holiday every year until 1963, when it began to move to other weeks. Today, matchups in all sports between the Tigers and Bearcats are known as the Swamp Cup, but the winner of the annual football matchup takes home the Swampman trophy, also known as "Swampy."
