Staff Report
The final breakdown of classes for the two-year cycle, 2017-18, indicates most of the District 1 girls’ teams that have enjoyed success in past PIAA tournaments will compete in Class AAA.
The PIAA announced recently it will move to a two-class playoff system beginning in the two-year-period of 2017-18.
Below is a listing of all schools competing in PIAA lacrosse in the 2017-18 with their enrollments (based on current 9th through 11th grade numbers). State playoff teams from last year are boldfaced.
The District 1 teams that will compete in AAA and qualified for the state playoffs in 2015 include defending champion Garnet Valley, runner-up Conestoga, Great Valley and Harriton. Radnor, a state qualifier in 2015, will compete in AA.
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.
