Eight Henlopen Conference players earned first-team honors on this year’s All-State field hockey squad.
That group included three players from DIAA Division II state-champion Delmar High and two apiece from Division I state-champion Cape Henlopen and Polytech.
Delmar junior Ashlyn Carr was named the state Player of the Year after helping the Wildcats go 18-0 and capture their second-straight state crown.
She was joined on the first team by teammates Peyton Kemp (Sr.) and Hailey Bitters (Jr.)
Cape Henlopen’s first-team honorees were Alia Marshall (Jr.) and Annie Judge (Sr.). The Vikings went 16-2, winning their last 15 games of the season to claim the Division I title.
Polytech’s two first-team All-Staters were Madi McKay (Sr.) and MacKenzie Estrada (Jr.), who helped the Panthers go 11-6 and reach the Division I state semifinals.
The other downstate first-team All-State pick was Milford senior Darby Brennan.
