Maddie Dora Named Top Girls Lacrosse Player by ITG Next
Maddie Dora, a senior lacrosse player at Milton High School, has been named the Top Girls Lacrosse Player in Georgia for 2021 by ITG Next.
Head coach Tim Godby said knew he had a superstar in the making the first time he met Dora.
“I first met Maddie when she was just a fifth-grader,” said Godby. “She and her family had just moved here from New York State. She enrolled in our local development league, Eagle Stixx, which I oversee.”
According to Godby, Dora stood out as an athlete, even as a young girl.
“You could see that she had the basic skill set-even at that young age-that was a step above the other players, and that’s no knock on any of the kids,” said Godby. “It’s just Maddie was a special player.”
Today, Dora has taken all those skills that she learned and has developed into one of the top girls lacrosse players in not just Georgia but the entire country. She has just completed her senior season at Milton, capping what has been a stellar high school career with the Lady Eagles.
Dora helped lead her team to the GHSA Class 6A/7A State Championship in 2019 and this past 2021 season, a dominating performance over West Forsyth. The state title capped off a season that saw the Lady Eagles finish undefeated at 21-0. It was Milton’s 14th overall state championship in girls lacrosse.
Dora scored 112 goals this season, with 42 assists. She also had 48 draw controls and caused 22 turnovers. She was selected as a member of the 2019 Georgia Coaches Association All State Team as a sophomore and to play on the 2021 Under Armour All-American Lacrosse team as a senior.
