South Carroll
This senior led the county in scoring with 17 goals and eight assists, but it was her performance in the playoffs that stood out. A forward who also occasionally moved to the midfield, Harris scored seven postseason goals.
Some of her best work came against top-seeded North Hagerstown in the Class 2A West semifinals. With her team trailing the unbeaten power 1-0 at halftime, Harris delivered what coach Jerry Janowich called "one of the best halftime talks from a player I've ever heard," and then scored a pair of second-half goals to lead South Carroll to victory.

Under Janowich's direction, the Cavaliers (12-6-1) survived a midseason slump to become the hottest team in Carroll County, winning five straight games late in the season to advance to the state semifinals for the first time since 1992.
After going 1-4-1 during a three-week stretch in October -- and hitting numerous posts along the way -- the team outscored opponents 18-2 over the next two weeks, including a 2-1 win over Middletown on penalty kicks to claim the Class 2A West title.
