Aaron Anders-Wyomissing

The seniors on Wyomissing’s girls basketball team have left a mark that will stand the test of time. Over the past three years, the Spartans compiled a staggering (83-9) record. They won three District 3-4A championships and a pair of Berks County titles. “It was a lot of fun. It was really neat to watch those kids grow,” said head coach Aaron Anders. Amaya Stewart, Alexis Hardy, and Audrey Hurleman were household names along Evans Avenue. They started for four seasons. After missing last year due to a knee injury, Lili Marshall returned to the court this season and was part of a four-guard lineup. Wyomissing didn’t lose a single home game over the past two years. The Spartans reached the state semifinals for just the third time a season ago when they went (31-1). They fell to Philadelphia Catholic League powerhouse Neumann-Goretti 58-45 in the second round of the PIAA-4A playoffs last week. That loss ended a (24-5) campaign, but not before Stewart became the school’s all-time leading scorer. The 6’1 Albany commit finished with 1,904 points. “She’s the best girls basketball player that’s ever come out of here,” stated Anders. Stewart averaged 19.5 ppg. in each of the past two seasons. She broke Rachel Hoffman’s record of 1,886 points. Hoffman is Wyomissing’s girls soccer coach. Stewart, a three-time Berks County Player of the Year, pulled down more than 1,000 rebounds in her remarkable career. “When she first came in as a freshman, you could see the love for the game…Her smile is infectious. Her personality is infectious,” emphasized Anders. Stewart was surrounded by outstanding all-around athletes including Annie McCaffrey, Audrey Hurleman, and Alexis Hardy. McCaffrey graduated in 2024 and is playing soccer at UMass. Hurleman is committed to North Carolina for lacrosse, and Hardy is headed to Delaware for track. She’s won multiple BCIAA and District 3 gold medals in the 100 and 200 meters. Hardy provided 8 points per game this season. Hurleman returned to the basketball team on “Senior Night” in late January after suffering a torn ACL on April 9th. Anders, a former basketball standout at Antietam and Alvernia, is (108-26) over five years. He will never forget his four seniors. “They put on one heck of a show the past three years,” replied Anders with a smile.
