All-City Honors – Girls Lacrosse: Spring 2024

GIRLS LACROSSE

Most Valuable Player

15 Kyli Haws (Sr. Skyridge): Controlling midfielder caught 91 ground balls and caused 44 turnovers. She also contributed 35 goals, 10 assists and 60 draw controls. “She was the heart and soul of our team this year,” said coach Michelle Buechner. “She led every team cheer, encouraged teammates individually and collectively, suggested adjustments during the game, invited the team to team meals and never missed a day of practice. After not making the varsity team her first two years of high school, she redoubled her efforts and led the varsity team the next two years, earning a spot on the Westminster lacrosse team this fall.”

Most inspiring player

Whitney Walker (Sr. Skyridge): “She made the varsity team for the first time this year and didn’t get the playing time she wanted,” Buechner said. “But she showed up day after day, practice after practice, cheered on her teammates and created the kind of team culture that made everyone want to come to practice every day. She would ask what she could do to improve and try to do what the coaches said right away. She went all out, as she usually does, right before the playoffs and twisted her ankle and couldn’t play, but she was still there cheering on her teammates from her crutches.”
