Girls lacrosse
Player of the Year
Jordy Kirr
Bryn Mawr
The heart of the No. 9 Mawrtians' offense, Kirr scored 25 goals and had 19 assists. The senior attacker's shot selection was almost impeccable, as she scored on 58 percent of her attempts. Her superb stick skills and game sense also helped her excel in the midfield, where she went after loose balls with the same relentlessness she showed going to goal. Kirr's season came to an untimely end when she suffered a broken collarbone, forcing her to miss the final three games. Still, surgery a couple of days later couldn't keep her off the sideline that afternoon to support her team against rival Roland Park.
Coach of the Year
Josh Headley
Poly
In Headley's six seasons as head coach, the Engineers have won every city public schools girls lacrosse championship. This season they went 9-3 overall and swept all seven games against city foes. Although he has had only four girls come through with previous experience and no junior varsity to build on, Headley (50-22 at Poly) has fostered a program that had two former players playing at Division I colleges this season. Despite starting with the basics every season, the Engineers have developed a strong team dynamic and were able to run a more sophisticated offense.
