Forks girls hoops star a repeat pick as NYS Class B Player of Year

Chenango Forks girls basketball standout Maggie Warpus has been selected as Class B Player of the Year by the New York State Sports Writers Association for the second consecutive season.

Warpus, a senior, led Forks to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class B championship game. She has committed to play at Oregon State.

Her selection was announced in conjunction with release of the all-state teams for classes B, C, and D. All-state selections in classes AAA, AA, and A were revealed previously.

Warpus averaged 23.4 points and 14.2 rebounds per game this past season. She was a 49% shooter from the field, made 35% of her 143 3-point tries, and connected on 84% of her foul shots. She had 98 steals and 62 blocked shots in 26 games.

She finished with 1,886 career points and 1,215 rebounds.

Chenango Forks' Maggie Warpus (5) goes up for a shot during a 52-49 win over Horseheads in a STAC girls basketball semifinal Feb. 19, 2026 at Horseheads Middle School.

Warpus was among 23 Section 4 players to receive all-state recognition in classes B, C, D. That list included her teammate, third-team Class B pick Jordyn Ericksen-Hrehor, and first-team Class D selection McKenna Hoyt of Stamford/Jefferson.
