The scoreboard closed the chapter, but North Pocono’s story this season was one of pride, perseverance, and a program on the rise. The Lady Trojans walk away with memories, momentum — and their heads held high.
With the game on the line and the bases loaded, Zoie Krupovich made a sliding catch in center to halt a North Schuylkill rally and preserve the lead—earning the SportzWire Play of the Game. Add in a triple from Ashlyn Palickar and a complete game from Taylor Cawley, and Valley View was on its way to the state quarterfinals with a 6-2 win.
From the mound to the batter’s box to shortstop, Valley View found a way. Taylor Cawley’s solo homer and Kalli Karwowski’s highlight-reel play secured a 1-0 win and kept the Cougars dancing into the quarterfinals.
