Bella Tran enters the season as one of the clearest reference points for Lower Dauphin. The report says her left foot helped drive a standout postseason and earned her the 2025 Player of the Year honour.
Grace Sines gives Cumberland Valley a different kind of advantage. After being named Commonwealth Player of the Year, she is expected to remain central because she can operate in several roles rather than relying solely on scoring.
For Trinity, Mia Scherr offers the most direct attacking threat. The report says she has driven the Shamrocks’ attack since her freshman season and now begins her final campaign after a district title.
Several teams will ask established players to carry more responsibility:
The pressure will not fall only on seniors. West Perry’s Jalinn Kell, a member of the Class of 2027, is expected to move into a leading creative and scoring role following Dee Chubb’s graduation.
Lea Carmona may be the most flexible figure in the group. The Central Dauphin player can influence matches at either end of the pitch, a valuable quality for a team that reached the state semi-finals last season.
The next storyline arrives when league play begins: whether the recognised stars set the pace immediately, or whether the emerging group turns the 2026 season into a changing of the guard.
