Chloee Bennett, Buckfield senior shortstop: A well-rounded athlete at the plate and in the field, Bennett came up big in the Class D South tournament for the state champion Bucks. This year’s team will continue to rely on the power hitter who batted .453 with 31 RBI, 26 runs and 13 stolen bases. 

Hailey Cyr, Leavitt senior pitcher: Cyr recorded 77 strikeouts last season as the Hornets claimed the second seed in B South, and Leavitt coach Laura Reny says the Husson commit has spent the offseason honing her pitching and hitting skills.  

Isabella Enos, Lewiston senior center fielder: Last year, Enos led the Blue Devils with a .400 batting average while scoring and driving in 15 runs. Coach Ryan Cormier complimented the captain’s speed, popup tracking ability and glove skills. 

Audrey Getchell, Gray-New Gloucester senior pitcher: Getchell earned five of the Patriots’ six wins last season. The right-handed pitcher struck out 65 batters and posted a 6.26 ERA.

Chloe LeBlanc, Edward Little junior pitcher: LeBlanc was the Red Eddies’ closer as the seventh seed made a run to the 2025 Class A championship game. The southpaw struck out 56 batters in 48 innings, compiling 5-2 record with two saves. 

Addison Libby, Mountain Valley sophomore pitcher: Libby went 10-7 as a freshman, striking out 78 batters in 92 innings and posting a 3.70 ERA. Coach Gary Dolloff says the right-hander has put in the time to develop her fastball and changeup, as well as a few other pitches.

Kyeria Morse, Oxford Hills senior pitcher: The 2025 KVAC Class A player of the year and two-time Varsity Maine All-State selection was strong at the plate (.469 batting average) and in the pitching circle (1.38 ERA, 138 Ks) last season.

Phoebe Paradis, Poland junior utility: A pitcher, catcher and shortstop, Paradis plays with high energy regardless of the position. Last season, she hit .520 with 13 RBI and 12 steals. In the pitching circle, she struck out 83 batters in 53 innings.

Riley Smith, Monmouth Academy senior center fielder: Coach Dave Kaplan says there is no better center fielder in the Mountain Valley Conference than this four-year starter who catches everything and throws runners out at home plate from the deep outfield. Smith was a top-four hitter for the Mustangs last year, with a .460 batting average.

Lana Waite, Dirigo senior pitcher/infielder: A four-year starter, Waite can make an impact as a feared hitter anchoring the third or fourth spot in the order, as a valuable defender at third base, or as a pitcher. She recorded her 200th career strikeout last season.
