Player of the Year

Anna Kaplan, Twin Valley

Senior midfielder and team captain was dominant as a passer, scorer, defender and in the faceoff circle, helping the Raiders become the first BCIAA lacrosse team, boys or girls, to reach a PIAA final and earning Player of the Year honors for the second straight season.

Scored 69 goals and led all Berks players with 145 points, a program record. Her game-winning goal with 19 seconds remaining against York Catholic secured the first District 3 Class 2A girls lacrosse title in Twin Valley history and her 76 assists were the most in the league.

"I'm very lucky to be able to be her mom and her coach," said Twin Valley coach Courtney Kaplan. "It's just been four years of awesomeness."

Kaplan, who committed to play at Loyola of Maryland before her junior season, gave maximum effort every time she stepped on the field and scored two goals in less than 10 seconds to give the Raiders an 8-7 second-half lead before falling in the state final to Archbishop Carroll.

"I don't know what it's like to not be coached by my mom and that is going to be so different," Anna Kaplan said. "I can't wait to see what they (the Raiders) do next year."
