Stewart, who will continue her career at Albany, paced the Spartans (24-5) at 19.5 points per game to finish her dynamic career with 1,904 career points, a program best.

Delone Catholic senior guard Megan Jacoby was a second-team selection.

In 3A, Pequea Valley junior guard Janae Patterson was named to the second team.

Patterson posted 19.2 points per game, leading the Braves to their first District 3 title game and first PIAA Tournament win.

Another guard, Linville Hill Christian senior Desiree Smucker, hauled in first-team honors in 1A.

Linville Hill claimed a program-best 27 wins and reached the PIAA championship round. Smucker averaged 18 points and is the only player in program history to surpass 1,000 career points.
