High school girls soccer coaches in the 11th Region have selected the 2025 All-Region teams and named their coach and player of the year awards.

Lexington Catholic senior forward Joanna Bryant, who helped lead the Knights to their second consecutive region championship, earned the 11th Region’s player of the year honors. Bryant, a Miami (Ohio) commit, led the Knights with 27 goals in 27 games to go with 21 assists, also a team high.

Paul Laurence Dunbar coach Jeff Stone was named the coach of the year. In his first season as the Dunbar girls coach — after many years as boys assistant at Dunbar, Sayre and Lexington Catholic — Stone led the Bulldogs to 19-3-1 record on the way to a 43rd District championship and a runner-up finish in the 11th Region. It was only the second district title in the Dunbar program’s history.
