With the conclusion of the high school basketball season, we want to take some time to go back and recognize the outstanding accomplishments from the 2024-2025 LebCo Girls Basketball season.

It was a wildly successful year for our local teams, as Lebanon, New Covenant, & Northern Lebanon all made States. Cedar Crest, ELCO, Our Lady of the Cross, & Palmyra were also District 3 qualifiers. Annville-Cleona missed qualification by one spot.

Lebanon won their first Lancaster Lebanon League Championship in 36 years and made it to the 2nd round of States before being eliminated by the eventual champion, Perkiomen Valley. Not to be outdone, Northern Lebanon also had an exciting postseason run as they played their way into the 4A quarterfinals. New Covenant played in their first ever District 3 Championship game.

We made an effort to identify all of the season’s top performers, and after consulting with each local program, we narrowed down our selections. Nevertheless, we still need your help selecting the LebCo All-County Girls Basketball Team.

Below is a list of nineteen nominees for the All-County Team. You are being asked to select your top five choices. After you have reviewed each nominee, please use the link to give your opinion in order to help us make the selections.

It is imperative to note that while voting is involved and emotions can run high, the primary purpose is to draw attention to the hardworking athletes who competed for LebCo’s high schools this past season.

Kailah Correa (Lebanon / Sr.) – The senior guard paced the Cedars to their fourth straight LL Section Championship & their first LL League Championship since 1979.

Correa also shot 81% from the free throw line. However, she was more than just a scorer, as she averaged 4.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds, & 2.5 steals per contest. Correa’s leadership was often overlooked but was just as important as the points she logged. Correa was named the LL Section 1 MVP & was named 1st Team All-State.

Liliana Harrison (Lebanon / Sr.) – The senior center was tough on both ends of the floor as the Cedars rumbled their way to the LL Championship & into the 2nd round of States.

Elli Malinoski (Cedar Crest / Fr.) – The freshman provided a spark to the Falcons, as she averaged 10.8 ppg.
