Phillylacrosse.com, Posted 11/30/15
Last week the PIAA has released the preliminary enrollment figures that will be used for classifications in the expanded state tournament for the 2017-18 seasons.
Phillylacrosse.com, using research from a District 1 coach, has compiled a tentative breakdown of how many playoff berths each district could be awarded for the 2017-18 girls’ tourneys (each enrollment cycle lasts two years), based on past procedures and a 16-team field in conjunction with the enrollment figures released.
The PIAA has awarded berths for the 12 districts based on a strict percentage of teams that compete in each district since the sanctioning of the state tourney in 2009.
If policies continue, District 1 would field 45 of the 107 teams – or 42 percent – playing in Class AAA. That would equate to 6.73 of the 16 teams in the field (see graphic for full projected breakdown of all districts). It must be noted that this could change if enrollment figures are challenged or teams from AA around the state play up; although it may be more likely that District 1 teams play up due to its past history of strength of teams.
Following on past policies, District 11 and 12 also would receive one AAA berth.
In Class AA, District 1 projects to have 27 of 107 teams, or 25 percent of the field, for four playoff spots. It is also projected that District 12 could receive two berths in the AA field; again these numbers are tentative and some of the teams must continue to deal with funding issues in the Philadelphia School District.
Below is the girls’ breakdown of classifications for the two-year period beginning in 2017 for PIAA girls’ lacrosse with last year’s state playoff qualifiers in boldface (and listed by class). Also listed are the berths for the 2016 season, the final year of that 2-year cycle.
