<\/p>\n

Enter Destiny Christian Academy senior Ayla Tuua.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuua was The Bee\u2019s first freshman to win the overall Player of the Year in 2023, the Medium School POY as a sophomore, the Small School POY as a junior and now bookends her illustrious career as the overall Player of the Year as a senior, following a historic season on the diamond.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing how much talent is here within Sacramento alone, it\u2019s really just an honor to receive this award,\u201d Tuua said. \u201cGrowing up reading these articles, this is like a childhood dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Destiny Christian went 31-0 \u2014 a record eclipsed by only one other regional team, the 34-0 Sutter Huskies in 2009 \u2014 and captured its third section title in four years along with a Division I Northern California championship. Tuua was at the heart of it all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the expectation going into the season was us talking a lot about the trifecta: win league, section and regionals,\u201d Tuua said. \u201cThis year, we never went into a game thinking we were gonna lose\u2026 We wanted to play the better teams and see what we\u2019re up against. I\u2019m glad we got the opportunity for my senior year to compete against some of the best teams in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While DCA had a loaded roster with Division I collegiate talent, Tuua\u2019s two-way dominance stood out among the best in the state. She finished with a .651 batting average, 19 home runs and a section-leading 77 RBIs at the plate. In the circle, she was even more dominant with an unblemished 12-0 record, a 0.66 ERA and 140 strikeouts in just 74.2 innings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For her career, the future LSU Tiger tallied a .550 average with 166 hits, 48 homers and 181 RBIs offensively, while posting a 47-2 pitching record with a 0.85 ERA, 720 punchouts while being part of 13 no-hitters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been competitive,\u201d Tuua said. \u201cEver since I started Little League, I\u2019ve had this persona that I am the best and I\u2019m gonna do whatever I have to do to be the best that I can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cordell led Whitney to section repeat<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Taylor Cordell is building quite the resume with the Whitney Wildcats. Two varsity seasons, two starts in section championship games and two blue banners through her sophomore year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Bee\u2019s Large School Player of the Year, Cordell led Whitney to the Division I section crown and a NorCal runner-up after going 21-3 with a 1.51 ERA and 159 strikeouts in 134.2 innings as the Wildcats tied a program record with 26 wins this season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After throwing a two-hit shutout in the 2025 section final against Rocklin, Cordell followed with a six-hitter with five strikeouts in the five-inning 11-1 victory over Rodriguez in the 2026 D-I title game. She fired a no-hitter against Davis on March 13 and led Whitney to a Sierra Foothill League co-championship.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

McCartney slugged her way into section history books<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Ponderosa shortstop Kate McCartney had a historic season for the Bruins of Shingle Springs, who made a remarkable run with 27 straight wins to start the year, and she is The Bee\u2019s Medium School Player of the Year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The sophomore slugger set a CIF Sac-Joaquin Section record with 20 home runs, leading all California players and being one of just 42 players in the entire country to reach that plateau. She also drove in 49 runs on 55 hits and a .625 batting average and was named the Capital Valley Conference MVP.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

McCartney hit safely in all but one game this season as Ponderosa finished the year at 27-1, falling just shy of the Division III section final.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bryson put Pioneer back on the map<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Senior Marisa Bryson gave Pioneer of Woodland its biggest resurgence in a decade. The Patriots reached section championship games in back-to-back seasons behind the future Stanford Cardinal, who is The Bee\u2019s Small School Player of the Year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bryson was named the Monticello Empire League MVP after hitting .530 with three homers, 28 RBIs, 44 hits, 33 runs and 12 stolen bases while patrolling shortstop this season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She finished her four-year varsity career with a .565 average, 192 hits, 34 home runs and 156 RBIs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Glenn keeps East Nicolaus\u2019 POY streak alive<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

East Nicolaus won its seventh straight CIF Northern Section championship and 16th overall with Kylah Glenn in the circle, and she is The Bee\u2019s Smallest School Player of the Year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The junior claimed 22 of the Spartans\u2019 26 victories, going 22-1 with a 1.80 ERA and 205 strikeouts in 151.1 innings. She went for double-digit strikeouts 10 times this season for the NorCal Division III semifinalists. Glenn is the fourth straight East Nicolaus player to win this Bee honor, following Stevie Knight last year, Adriana Nebuloni in 2024 and Meike Lauppe in 2023.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Buck coached seniorless Elk Grove to championship<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Amanda Buck didn\u2019t have a single senior on her Elk Grove roster. But as an alumna of the school, she recognized the potential of her young roster early in the season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a good feeling we\u2019d win league, but winning a section title with no seniors and five freshmen starting is pretty special,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019re young but passionate. They play outside of high school at a high level, so I think that\u2019s what prepared them for facing 17-18-year-olds this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Buck led a team with six juniors, seven sophomores and six freshmen to the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II championship, the program\u2019s first since 2010 and third overall. Buck has been on the coaching staff at her alma mater since 2004, but this was her first section title as head coach.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cLots of hard work,\u201d Buck said. \u201cSometimes I think the girls think we practice too much, too hard, but I tell them, \u2018The moment I stop having passion and stop pushing you guys, I\u2019ll stop coaching.\u2019 I push them hard, we work hard, and there are not many days off.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other coaches considered for Coach of the Year included Dwayne Brekke and James O\u2019Rourke of Ponderosa, Sean Erickson of Del Oro, April Steele of Whitney, Anthony Trujillo of Vanden and Shannon Tuua of Destiny Christian.<\/p>\n
