Wilson junior Kailani Hardy was named the top player in the Berks Girls League by league coaches Monday, when the Berks County Interscholastic Athletic Association (BCIAA) announced the 2026 All-Berks girls basketball team.
Wilson head coach Matt Raquet was named the Coach of the Year after leading the Bulldogs to their first Berks County title since 2014.
Hardy, senior teammate Laila Jones, Twin Valley senior Hailey Kilgore, and Gov. Mifflin junior Bella Super are repeat All-Berks selections.
It's the third All-Berks selection for Jones, who was selected her freshman and sophomore seasons but not last year when she missed the season recovering from a knee injury.
Exeter sophomore Addison Harper, Reading sophomore Xiani Beatty, and Schuylkill Valley senior Elyssa Sellers are first-time All-Berks picks.
The three newcomers, and Jones' return to the list, replace three-time Player of the Year in Wyomissing's Amaya Stewart, Brandywine Heights' Addison Benner, Reading High's Yamilex Rodriguez, and Berks Catholic's Madison Langdon, who were all seniors.
