There is a very strong argument to be made that Leffler was the most dynamic freshman in the entire state in 2023. The impressive 2026 OF led her team in average (.529), hits (37), runs (37 - 1st in the Schuylkill 1 League),  OBP (.612), Slugging Percentage (1.171), and OPS (1.783). Leffler slugged 24 extra base hits, including a ridiculous 11 triples, and stole 20 bases across 22 games played as she earned 1st team all state honors.

Yoos had a dynamic 2023 campaign and is certainly a 2B poised to have a big year in 2024. Across 23 games played Maura led not just her Archbishop Wood squad, but all of the Philly Catholic League in average (.581), hits (50), runs (39), and stolen bases (19). She also had 10 2B, 5 3B, and an OPS of 1.337. The 2B was named first team all state for the 2023 season.

There may not have been a more impressive freshman campaign in 2023 than Bria’s. She helped lead her Shaler Area High team to the Pennsylvania Class 5A state title game. On the year Bosilijevac put up huge numbers across the board with a jaw-dropping 177 strikeouts in 83.1 innings pitched including double-digit K’s in each of her eight high school playoff games which included wins over the WPIAL champion and the defending state runner-up. Those eight-game strikeout totals in the playoffs went as follows: 13 K’s, 16K’s, 16K’s, 17K’s, 17K’s, 12K’s, 12K’s and 12K’s in the championship game where she threw 127 pitches and allowed just one walk. Bria also threw a perfect game in which she was almost immaculate, striking out 20 of the 21 batters faced! She was named 1st team all state following her remarkable 2023 season.

In the 2023 season Miller went 19-4 with a 1.25 ERA and 175 strikeouts in 140 innings, walking 27 and giving up 25 earned runs.

In the WPIAL 6A championship game against Seneca Valley she struck out 11 and allowed four hits in a complete-game win that gave Hempfield its first district title since 2019 and eighth overall.

She proceeded to toss a pair of shutouts in the state postseason and she tossed a gem in the state championship game against North Penn (28-0) and star ace Julia Shearer in a 1-0 loss in the PIAA final.

Miller was awarded a spot on the 1st team all state list for her 2023 season.
