The 2025 Pennsylvania Sports Writers All-State Girls Basketball Teams were officially released Thursday afternoon, and District 2 made a powerful statement, with nine standout athletes and one notable alum receiving statewide honors across multiple PIAA classifications.
Scranton’s own Rachael Rose is officially on the move. The 5’7” point guard enters the portal after a dominant run at Wofford, where she averaged 22.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 5.4 assists last season. With elite performances against Power 4 programs and a 40% clip from deep, Rose has quickly become one of the most coveted mid-major transfers in the country.
Penn State guard Moriah Murray has officially entered the transfer portal after three impressive seasons in Happy Valley. The Dunmore native started 27 games this past season, averaging 8.4 points and leading the nation in three-point shooting early in the year with 37 triples. Her departure marks the fifth for the Lady Lions this offseason, as Murray looks to make her mark with a new program after a standout career in the Big Ten.
Loyalsock Township’s dominant third-quarter surge proved too much for Dunmore, as the Lancers ran away with a decisive 60-36 victory in Round 3 of the PIAA playoffs. Led by Lacey Kriebel’s 24 points and a relentless defensive effort, Loyalsock overwhelmed the Bucks, setting the stage for their next challenge in the state tournament.
What stood out in this game was Marian Catholic’s sharpshooting from beyond the arc. The team hit 10 three-pointers on the night, providing a significant boost to their offensive attack. Elk Lake struggled to match that perimeter shooting, and despite a game-high 23 points from Leah Traver, the team couldn’t keep up with Marian Catholic’s balanced scoring.
