Kendall Cavallaro Kendall Cavallaro 5'2" | Midfield/Attack | Right Hand Manheim Township | 2029 PA is the real deal. When Toby Bergstrom Toby Bergstrom 5'8" | Draw Specialist/Midfield | Right Hand Manheim Township | 2026 PA (Maryland), Liv Parmer (North Carolina), Lexie Kauffman Lexie Kauffman 5'5" | Midfield/Draw Specialist | Right Hand Manheim Township | 2026 PA (East Carolina), Addie Laurence, and others inevitably graduate in a few short months, Cavallaro has made a strong case that she is the future of District Three’s most dominant program in Manheim Township. And in a season where they have desperately missed the impact of Liv Parmer, one of the nation’s top recruits who tore her ACL in winter league play, it has been the freshman who has stepped up and provided a much-needed offensive spark.

She may not be the flashiest player with the ball in her stick yet, but her fundamentals are off the charts. When you tally up the stats at the end of a game, you are often impressed by the all-around effort Cavallaro is able to provide. She has the lacrosse IQ that college coaches dream of, and on a team of exceptional feeders, her game is the perfect complement. She finds space off the ball and consistently gets off high-percentage looks at the cage. Comfortable inside and outside the eight, she often gets her looks right at the crease with layups and dunks, but she is just as capable of ripping a shot from distance when the opportunity presents itself.

Defensively, Cavallaro is relentless on the ride, and despite her smaller frame, she has excellent stick work and great footwork to help her defensively. Visibly, her confidence is growing in each passing game, and she should be a varsity starter for the remainder of her high school career.

And while some freshmen wilt under the pressure of their first postseason game, Cavallaro looked like one of the veterans. She netted three goals en route to a dominant 17-3 win over Cocalico in the opening round of the Lancaster Lebanon League Playoffs. And on Tuesday night, she once again shined with three goals as Manheim Township would defeat Hempfield 16-8 on their way to a 16th consecutive LL League Championship. When the lights get bright, Cavallaro has stepped up in some of the most pivotal moments of her early career.

While college coaches cannot officially reach out to Cavallaro yet, this is a name to mark down. Playing alongside a wealth of Division I talent, do not be surprised if Cavallaro is the next Manheim Township product to land at a top college program.
