Five Outlaws named to all-league girls lacrosse teams
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The Lady Outlaws had
five players who earned all-
league recognition this year,
including sisters Ellie and Mia
Cook, who were first-team
selections, and Pearl Gregg,
Sydney Head, and Kaylee
Huber, who earned second-
team honors.
Junior Ellie (junior) was
named first-team all-league
attack and was a constant
scoring threat for the Outlaws.
She finished league with 34
goals, 31 ground balls, 15
draw controls, and five caused
turnovers.
“There’s no question as
to why Ellie was one of the
first-team all-league selec-
tions,” said Coach Mikaela
Trott. “She’s our top scorer,
who works to share the ball on
offense. She spends her water
breaks practicing her shot and
it shows. She mastered wrap-
ping the crease this year. If she
misses a shot, she won’t stop
until she recovers the ball and
scores. This year she stuffed
the goalie multiple times
when the goalie tried to clear
the ball, and that’s hard to do!
Besides being a great player,
she continues to be a shining
light in my life, her teammates
lives and beyond.”
Mia (junior), was a first
team pick at midfield, and

was also a scoring threat. Mia
was the team’s second-highest
scorer with 25 goals. In addi-
tion, she had 31 ground balls,
13 caused turnovers, and 18
draw controls.
“Mia can do it all,” said
Trott. “She’s a beast on
defense, and uses her height
and speed to get back and pro-
tect the cage, and make inter-
ceptions when possible. She
uses her length to hustle down
the field during midfield tran-
sitions. On attack, she chooses
her shots thoughtfully, and
places them with great con-
sistency. She has a 67.7 shot
percentage, the highest on our
team. Mia is incredibly com-
petitive, fun, and thoughtful,
on and off the field.”
Junior Sydney Head was
a second-team midfielder.
Sydney took the majority
of the draw controls for the
Outlaws and led the team with
45 on the season. She also
scored 17 goals, recorded 48
ground balls, and 16 caused
turnovers.
“Sydney was our lead
drawer on the center, and we
are better for it!” said Trott.
“Part skill, and part determi-
nation to get the ball, she got
45 of our draw controls this
year, and that is a true feat!
She was even out for three
games due to a concussion.
It’s an impressive number, and
often is the determining factor
as to winning a game. Sydney
isn’t just a drawer, she’s also
a fantastic defensive/attack
player, shooting whenever she
can, making assists, and is tied
with Olivia (Hougham) for the
most ground balls of the sea-
son. She’s as sweet as can be
and makes everyone feel wel-
comed, loved, and happy.”
Huber (sophomore) was
also a second-team all-league
midfielder. Over the course of
the season Kaylee scored 24
goals, and recorded 25 ground
balls, 28 draw controls, and 17
caused turnovers.
“Kaylee is an impressive
player to watch,” stated Trott.
“She’s strong, fast, deter-
mined, and incredibly skilled.
She is one of our lead scorers,
has a gift for the draw, and is
a force to be reckoned with on
defense. She knows her place
on the field, and is coachable,
consistent, and a team player.
Kaylee will have the attention
of college scouts, no question
about it. She’s a very sweet
girl, who is a joy to know.”
Freshman Pearl Gregg
rounded out the all-league
honors. Pearl scored 19 goals
for Sisters, and recorded 31
ground balls, 11 caused turn-
overs, and five draw controls.
“Pearl has a passion for the
game of lacrosse,” said Trott.
“She is a hard-working athlete
who works on her stick skills
on and off the field, and it
shows. She’s so fun to watch,
and has had some really amaz-
ing goals this season. Most
notably, she had a wicked
penalty shot at our playoff
game that made the crowd
roar! Pearl displays a competi-
tive attitude mixed with genu-
ine passion and drive to win
each game. She always chases
after the ball when it’s lost on
our attack, and fights to get
it back, and often does. She’s
downright fun!”
In addition, Coach Mikaela
Trott was named Coach of the
Year.
Trott said, “I feel honored
to have won Coach of the
Year. It’s always important for
me to win with dignity, and
lose with grace, and I think
that was reflected with this
honor.”
