DAVE KENNEDY/For The Express Jersey Shore’s Peyton Dincher became a three-time first-team all-state selection in Class AAAA with the Bulldogs.

Jersey Shore’s Peyton Dincher was named a first team Class AAAA all-state selection for a third straight year, becoming the first area player to do so in more than two decades.

The Pennsylvania Sportswriters’ all-state team was released on Thursday afternoon.

Loyalsock’s Alaina Dadzie was named Class AAA Player of the Year and Curtis Jacobson earned Class AAA Coach of the Year. Loyalsock’s Lacey Kriebel was a Class AAA second-team selection.

Hughesville’s Alli Anstadt earned third -team honors.

Dincher made her final season one to remember. The all-time leading Jersey Shore scorer in girls and boys’ basketball, she becomes the first three-time first-team area selection since Montoursville great Kelly Mazzante and Dincher put Jersey Shore on the map.

Doing things few had ever seen at Jersey Shore, Dincher closed her historic career with 2,206 points, 579 rebounds, 232 steals, 138 assists, 223 3-pointers and 94 blocks. She is one of just five area players in the 2000s to reach 2,000 points as well and helped Jersey Shore win three straight league championships after it previously had not captured one since 1996.

“It’s an incredible honor to be named first-team all-state for the third year in a row. Every season brings new challenges, and to be recognized like this again means a lot,” Dincher said, “I’m grateful for my teammates, coaches, and everyone who’s pushed me to keep growing.”

Like Dadzie, Dincher often was swarmed, seeing double teams and junk defenses thrown her away ever game. Despite that, the Le Moyne-bound senior won a third straight scoring title, averaging 21.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.8 steals, 1.9 assists and 1.0 block per game.

Capable of playing just about any position, Dincher could be a force inside and also made at least 49 3-pointers for a fourth straight season.

And wherever she went, Dincher received ample support. Above the statistics, that is what meant the most for the best to ever wear a Jersey Shore uniform.

“I also want to thank my community for the constant support — it really means everything,” Dincher said. “I’m excited for the next level and ready to keep putting in the work. It’s an honor to be the only one at Jersey Shore to achieve this for basketball.”
