MECHANICSBURG, PA – The Mountain View girls basketball team saw its season come to a close in the PIAA Class 2A semifinals on Friday night, falling 41-38 in a hard-fought battle against Berlin Brothersvalley (BBV) from District 5.
While the final result wasn’t what they hoped for, the Lady Eagles once again proved why they are one of the most respected and consistent programs in District 2. This year was another strong chapter in Mountain View’s tradition of excellence—a season marked by steady play, strong leadership, and a deep postseason run that brought them to the state’s final four.
Friday’s game at Mechanicsburg was a tightly contested affair from start to finish. Mountain View held a five-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, looking poised to punch their ticket to the state final. But BBV’s Coral Prosser had other plans. Prosser delivered a stunning performance, scoring all 16 of Berlin Brothersvalley’s fourth-quarter points and finishing with 31 total. She was nearly automatic at the free-throw line, converting 20-of-25 attempts—including 12-of-16 in the final quarter alone.
Mountain View put together a balanced effort. Junior standout Addison Kilmer led the way with 20 points, including a three-pointer. Aubrey Sanders added 9, also connecting from beyond the arc, while Ryleigh Kilmer and Riley Turner chipped in with 4 points each. Brooklyn Anderson added a free throw.
Despite BBV only hitting nine field goals all game, their relentless drive to the basket earned them 30 trips to the line. Mountain View, on the other hand, had just 11 free throw attempts, converting 7.
Even in the face of adversity, the Lady Eagles never backed down. They matched Berlin Brothersvalley’s 16 fourth-quarter points and fought until the final possession. It was a fitting end for a team that has made toughness and composure its trademark.
While the loss stings, Mountain View’s season is one to celebrate. The team once again represented its school and community with pride, reaching the state semifinals and showing the kind of consistency that few programs can match. This year wasn’t an outlier—it was a continuation of a winning standard that has become the program’s identity.
Congratulations to the Lady Eagles on another tremendous season. Their commitment to excellence, year in and year out, continues to raise the bar in District 2 and across Pennsylvania.
