Tessa Knapp
Senior, Bay
In a loaded class of 2025, the Notre Dame signee still separated herself from the pack. She concluded her Bay career as a state champion and the OHSAA’s all-time leading scorer. Knapp scored 64 goals, with 14 assists, this season. She is the No. 1 goal scorer in Ohio who performed in the biggest moments. Knapp had three goals against Rocky River in a Division III state semifinal. In the final minute of the state championship match, Knapp had the game-winning assist.
Scott Simpson, Bay
In his first year with the Rockets, Simpson led Bay to its first state championship since 2003. Bay did not lose a game all season. In 24 games, the Rockets tied twice (against Rocky River and Medina) and won 22 showdowns. In a Division III state semifinal rematch with Rocky River, Bay avenged its 2023 playoff loss with a 4-1 victory. Avon Lake’s defense did not allow a goal in a calendar month, heading into the Division III regional semifinal against Bay. It took the Rockets less than 30 seconds to score in an eventual 8-0 victory.

M Emery Aschenbrener, Sr., Bay
Even with a star like Knapp on offense, Aschenbrener made her presence known. The University of Dayton signee was a formidable threat who recorded 27 assists, tied for first in Ohio by MaxPreps. As a Division III All-Ohioan, her signature moment was scoring in back-to-back playoff games in the absence of Knapp. Her goals led to a 1-0 district final win against CVCA and a 2-0 victory over Louisville.
F Ella Henton, Sr., Westlake
She was by far Westlake’s best goal scorer. With 19 goals and eight assists, she had her fingerprints on more than half of the Demons’ 42 goals. Henton was named a Division III All-Ohioan and first-team all-district.
F Allysa Gimmel, Sr., North Ridgeville
Gimmel was dynamic in the Rangers’ offense. They went 8-6-3 and she was a focal point, scoring 58 goals on the year. As a result, Gimmel was named All-Ohioan. She also swept first-team honors for county, SWC and district.
