Here are the 2025 Carroll County Girls Lacrosse All-County honorees:<\/p>\n

Editors note: All-County selections are determined by the sports reporting staff in consultation with area coaches, following extensive discussion and evaluation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Coaches of the Year: Shelly Brezicki, Manchester Valley; Brigid Scanlon, South Carroll<\/h4>\n

After missing the state championship podium for the first time in 19 years in 2024, Carroll County girls lacrosse rebounded in 2025 thanks to two standout coaching performances.<\/p>\n

Shelly Brezicki led Manchester Valley to a perfect 19-0 record, winning the Carroll County title and the Class 2A state championship. Her leadership turned a talented roster into a dominant team that lived up to high expectations from the start of the season. It was the third time (2023, 2016) that Brezicki has led the Mavericks to a perfect season.<\/p>\n

\u201cShelly is a great coach,\u201d Mavericks athletic director Elizabeth Padgett said. \u201cHer competitive nature resonates with her players. She invests significant time to make sure the season is about more than just lacrosse. She truly cares about the entire program and wants it to be the best for the kids involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Mavericks earned a reputation for their offensive firepower, it was the defensive unit shaped by Brezicki and assistant coach Jim Miller that often overwhelmed opponents and helped build a complete, championship-caliber team.<\/p>\n

At South Carroll, Brigid Scanlon, who was Padgett\u2019s starting point guard when she was in high school, had a smaller roster compared to other schools, but from March 1, she made the most of what she had, guiding her alma mater to the Class 1A state championship.<\/p>\n

Despite their participation numbers, the Cavaliers made a deep run, defeating county rival and perennial contender Liberty on their way to the program\u2019s first state title since 2019. Scanlon also celebrated her 100th career coaching victory this spring.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout this past season, Coach Scanlon exemplified not only exceptional leadership and coaching knowledge but also an unwavering commitment to the personal growth, character development and success of every athlete on her team,\u201d South Carroll athletic director Tim Novotny said. \u201cUnder her guidance, the team posted an impressive 10-win regular season against a competitive schedule, culminating in the 1A state championship.\u201d<\/p>\n
