It has been a long time since Canfield did not win or at least share the crown in the All-American Conference. The Cardinals eased their way to victory in 2024 and are heavy favorites to do so again in 2025. Canfield has their sights set on even higher goals as they will look to make a run to the District and potentially State Tournament. The senior and junior classes have grown together and now is their time to show where that work can take them. It will be seniors Natalie Sawicki and Mia Tisone joining with juniors Aubree Philibin and Alex Conley yet again to hopefully make a special run. The rest of the conference consists of Boardman, where junior Gianna Ross can make a splash in the league and postseason tournaments, Howland, led by a strong junior class, and Austintown-Fitch, who have a young team that is showing potential.

Coach’s Comments- The winter program has been in place for several years and has allowed our team to consistently hit year round. Our success will be based on our senior class who have all been in the program since middle school. I’d also like to thank Coach Philibin and Coach McHale for their hard work in opening up so many additional opportunities for our team.
