Maury, which went unbeaten in Eastern District play, earned four spots on the all-district field hockey team as voted by the coaches.
Commodores named to the first team were Sally Roman, senior centerlink; Katie Joyner, senior left wing; Katie Roman, junior right wing; Meredith Whibley, senior center back.
Sally Roman and Joyner led Maury in scoring with 12 goals each. Sally, who made the first all-district team last year, also contributed seven assists for a total of 31 points and was awarded Maury's Lady Commodore sports award for field hockey.
``Sally has very good stick work,'' Maury coach Pat Panzik said. ``Also, she really understands the game. She was our quarterback; she set up the plays, which takes a lot of knowledge about the game.
``Katie (Joyner) has tremendous speed and a very good conception of the game.''
Katie Roman scored five goals and had eight assists. Whibley had two goals and three assists.
``Katie (Roman) is an excellent player,'' Panzik said. ``She is fast and can play any position on the field. She's a well-rounded athlete.
``Meredith played goalkeeper the previous two seasons, but she really wanted to play the field this year. I was concerned about her stick work, but she played remarkably well. She did a really great job.''
Representing Norview are Tennille Toomer, Taschell Coaxum, Norview's center half and defensive MVP, and Dawn Anderson.
Toomer, a senior right inner and the Pilots' most valuable player on offense, scored five goals with two assists.
Coaxum, a center half, was the Pilots' MVP on defense and scored five goals. Anderson, a left wing, also scored five goals.
Lake Taylor's first-team players are Stephanie Lynch, Elizabeth Riedel and Angela Riedel.
Lynch led the Titans with four goals and four assists.
Booker T. Washington put three players on the first team, seniors Alicia Fields and Kiki Sowell and sophomore Leah Butler.
Fields, a keeper, made 74 saves, nine on strokes, and came out of the box to add a goal to her record. Sowell scored nine goals and had three assists.
Second team members are Sarah Stites, Stacey Levine, Megan Kinnear and Janet Blevins of Maury, Tiffany Bledsoe, Tomica Hoffler, and Kewonnie Foster of Norview, Erin Harkins and Erin Finn of Lake Taylor, Robin Finnell, Lynn Clark, Sherika Sadler and Jannat Scoon of Booker T. Washington, and Rachel Gerloff and Lauren Bowen of Granby. by CNB
