Staff Report
The final breakdown of AA and AAA classes for the two-year cycle, 2017-18, indicates the boys’ fields will be fairly split with teams that advanced to the PIAA tourney in 2015.
The PIAA announced recently it will move to a two-class playoff system beginning in the two-year-period of 2017-18. The official fields for this period were released and appear below.
The listing of all schools competing in PIAA lacrosse in 2017-18 also are accompanied with their enrollments (based on current 9th through 11th grade numbers). Teams that competed in the PIAA tournament last year are boldfaced.
Defending PIAA champion Radnor will compete in AA with defending District 1 champion Springfield-Delco and 2015 state qualifier Bishop Shanahan and 2014 state champion Penncrest. The AAA field will feature AAA state runnerup St. Joseph’s Prep and state qualifiers Conestoga and Central Bucks East.
The state fields will be 16 for each class. The exact breakdowns of how many teams will qualify from each district will be announced this summer and will continue to be based on the overall percentage of teams that compete from each district.
