This is one of a series of previews for the 2016 Philly lacrosse season
Archmere Academy

Coach’s Outlook: “Archmere returns seven starters from last year’s squad, including four who earned all-state accolades. Several new freshmen, sophomores, and juniors have shown they have potential to play key roles this year. Archmere’s regular season schedule is considerably more challenging this season but should help prepare the Auks for a potential run at the end of the year.”

Last year’s record: 11-5, state playoff berth
Key returnees: Brian Davis (mid/fo), Jake Kaiser (mid/fo), Hunter Melson (LSM/D), Jake Soroko (Att)
Coach’s Outlook: “After an 11-5 finish last year, Smyrna will be young after graduating six seniors. The program is in its fifth year and looking to take another step forward in building the program.”
