A competitive league reached a boiling point in 2024, when Wilson defeated Twin Valley 14-8 to win its first Berks championship since 2018, breaking a winning streak by the three-time reigning champion Raiders in the finals.

The all-star team is selected by the BCIAA coaches.

The Bulldogs were led by three-time All-Berks selection Alexa Kairis, named Player of the Year in 2024, and first-year coach Chelsea Rosiek, named to the 2024 Coach of the Year team.

Additionally, Twin Valley continued its dominance in District 3, as the Raiders defeated Wyomissing 7-4 to win their third consecutive Class 2A district championship. Twin Valley also reached its third consecutive PIAA Class 2A final, where it lost to Archbishop Carroll.

The Spartans reached the PIAA Class 2A quarterfinals for the first time in program history and were led by leading scorer Kacey Maggs, a sophomore.
