Our Champs This Season :

Celebrating the Coaches Who Shaped 2025

Every season has its standout moments - the game-winners, the shutouts, the hustle plays that turn everything around. But behind all of it are the coaches. The ones who set the tone, build the culture, and push their teams to be better, both on and off the field. Here at WLD, we’re proud to recognize the coaches who went above and beyond this past season, and earned the ultimate rewards for their hard work and dedication.

Let's shout them out!

Jayne Chapman | The Plant Panthers (FL)

Jayne's team adding their name to the Number 1 Seed after their win.

After 15 years at Plant High School, Jayne Chapman ended her coaching career on the highest possible note: a 2A Florida State Championship at the end of a perfect 24-0 season.

The Plant Panthers’ 2025 title is the first ever to come to Tampa, a historic achievement for the program and the region. Chapman led the team to an astounding 47–1 record over the past two seasons, including a runner-up finish in 2024. Named Coach of the Year, she leaves behind a legacy of consistency, class, and championship culture.

We've been lucky enough to have Jayne in our WLD Community for over 6 years! She brings insight, wisdom and experience to all of the coaches in our community.

Chuck Porter | Jenks High School (OK)

Chuck's team is all smiles after their win!

In Oklahoma, Coach Chuck Porter led Jenks High School to back-to-back undefeated state championships, cementing their place as the top girls' lacrosse program in the state. The team’s perfect undefeated record this season and consecutive Oklahoma State titles showcase a level of consistency and dominance few programs achieve.

To top off these great successes, Chuck won both state championships with each of his daughters in both of their senior years.

Chuck has also been a part of WLD for over 6 years, showing consistency in his passion for learning and community.

Kate Livesay | Middlebury College (VT)

At the collegiate level, Kate Livesay continues to define excellence with Middlebury College’s women’s lacrosse program. Leading the Panthers to their sixth consecutive Division III National Championship, Livesay’s team finished the season with an impressive 21–1 record.

Middlebury defeated Tufts 10-9 to claim their 11th overall DIII title. This latest championship adds to her already impressive coaching resume, which includes six NCAA Championships (2016, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) and five NESCAC Championships (2016, 2018, 2019, 2023, 2024). Under Livesay’s leadership, the Panther coaching staff has won the National Coaching Staff of the Year award six times (2016, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025), a testament to their sustained success and strong program culture.

Grace's team celebrates their seniors on senior night!
