Elise Caira, Arlington Catholic  Guard, Sr.
		The debate about the Catholic Conference's best player can be revived in the fall following the graduation of the two-time MVP. Caira leaves as the Cougars' all-time leading scorer (1,560 points), including a senior season in which she scored just under 25 points a game and led AC to its third straight league title. Also a two-time league MVP in volleyball, Caira will continue her basketball career at Bentley.

Laniece Langford, Burke  Guard, Sr.
		Langford has spent her career dominating the Boston City League, leading the Bulldogs to four straight City championships and earning three MVP awards. She led Eastern Mass. in scoring this season with 27.5 points per game and finished her career with almost 2,000 points. A three-time Scholar Athlete Award winner at Burke, Langford will attend St. John's on a full scholarship.

Cerie Mosgrove, Needham  Forward, Sr.
		It was the best season in the program's history, with Mosgrove the most influential factor in the Rockets' 22-1 campaign. The Bay State co-MVP averaged 21 points and 14 rebounds a game for the Division 1 South champions. A two-time All-Scholastic, Mosgrove led Needham in points and rebounds in each of her four years. She will play basketball at UMass.

Sheylani Peddy, Melrose  Guard, Sr.
		Peddy joins the Super Team for the second consecutive year after leading Melrose to a 21-2 record and a spot in the Division 2 North final. Peddy, the Middlesex MVP three straight years, leaves as the school's all-time leading scorer with over 1,500 career points. Peddy, who averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds, and almost 6 steals a game this season, is undecided about her college plans.

Carolyn Swords, Lincoln-Sudbury  Center, Sr.
		The Dual County League MVP improved every year with the Warriors, and helped the Warriors dominate their opponents en route to the Division 2 state championship. The 6-foot-5-inch center averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds a game this year, and ended her career with 1,212 points. The Massachusetts Player of the Year will attend Boston College on a scholarship.

Denise Beliveau, Framingham  Forward, Sr.
		Beliveau averaged 21.2 points and 10.1 rebounds a game and earned a share of the Bay State MVP honors, while leading the Flyers to the Division 1 South final. A member of the National Honor Society, Beliveau will play next year at New Hampshire.

Maggie Cosgrove, Andover  Guard, Sr.
		Any search for Cosgrove's replacement will surely end in vain. A two-year captain, she averaged 10 points and 6 assists a game this season and is making her second appearance as an All-Scholastic. Cosgrove will play basketball at Sacred Heart.

Jill Greenberg, Westwood  Guard, Jr.
		The Tri-Valley MVP averaged 14 points, 8 assists, and 8 steals a game, all good for tops in the league. Greenberg plays AAU ball for the Boston Monarchs. A member of the National Honor Society, Greenberg also plays soccer and softball.

Colleen Hart, Needham  Guard, Sr.
		The two-year captain and three-time Bay State all-star, Hart averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists a game this season for the Division 1 South champions. Hart, a member of the National Honor Society, will continue playing basketball at Tufts.

Alyssa Jann, Westford  Guard, Sr.
		Jann led Westford with 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists a game this season and earned a spot on the Dual County League All-Star team. Jann, who finished with 1,503 career points and a 74-17 record, will play basketball at Colgate.

Nicole Pollard, Case  Guard, Sr.
		Pollard averaged 24 points a game and leaves Case as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,676 career points, to go along with a Division 3 state championship in 2005. A member of the National Honor Society, Pollard is undecided about college.

Ashley Rivera, Lowell  Guard, Jr.
		The Merrimack Valley MVP led the Raiders to within a game of their second straight trip to the Garden. A three-year MVC All-Star, the point guard averaged 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 4 steals, and a league-high 16 points per game.

Ashley Vitale, Wilmington  Center, Sr.
		The Cape Ann MVP led the Wildcats to within a game of the Garden, falling in the Division 3 North final. A three-time league all-star and two-time team MVP, the 5-foot-10-inch center eclipsed 1,000 points for her career. She will attend Endicott.

Kyara Weekes, Cambridge  Guard, Sr.
		Weekes leaves as the third leading scorer in the program's history (1,088 points). The three-time Greater Boston All-Star averaged 17 points and 4 assists per game this season. Weekes, a National Honor Society member, will attend Fordham.

Brittany White, New Mission  Forward, Sr.
		The Division 4 state champions relied heavily on White all season. She scored 26 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in the final against Sacred Heart. White, who also plays softball, had more than 1,000 points and rebounds in her career.

Susan Downer, Central Catholic  Division 1
		The Raiders defied all expectations but their own this season, navigating arguably the toughest schedule in Eastern Mass. all the way to the Division 1 title game. The Raiders beat Merrimack Valley rivals Lowell for the EMass title, the first in the program's history. The Merrimack grad, who was also Globe's Coach of the Year in 2005, led the Raiders to a 20-6 season and a share of the MVC title.

Liza Feldman, Lincoln-Sudbury  Division 2
		In three seasons at the helm of her alma mater, Feldman has compiled a 64-7 record. The Warriors, who lost only one game inside Massachusetts, finished 24-2, winning their last 22 games -- the last being for the Division 2 state championship. The Amherst grad credits senior leadership, team chemistry, and the help of her assistant coaches for this year's success.

Jim Bancroft, Abp. Williams  Division 3
		The Division 3 state championship game played out for the Archies much like the season did. The Archies struggled early, but found their top gear when it mattered most, recovering to beat Granby, 62-48, for the title. This was Bancroft's fourth year in charge, and the future looks bright. The Archies return four starters, including the backcourt tandem of Christine Duffy and Casey Capello.

Cory McCarthy, New Mission  Division 4
		McCarthy carried just seven girls on his roster this season, but those seven proved too much for the competition in Division 4. New Mission captured its first state title, beating Sacred Heart at the Garden, and finishing 22-3 on the season. The UMass grad and East Boston alum also coaches the school's softball team, and needed only three words to describe his Lady Titans; athletic, fast, and courageous.
