It is becoming a tradition, just like the committee had hoped.
The Moe Rosenteel Player of the Year Award, given to the best all-around girls soccer player in the WPIAL since 2019, is now in its fourth year and a new winner will be crowned later in the fall.
The award epitomizes the best qualities of the late Katelyn “Moe” Rosensteel, a talented midfielder who played at Ringgold and was popular in area cup circles before her death in 2019.
The foundation, led by her parents, Ed and Shelley, has carried on her legacy through the award and a scholarship in her name.
