The La Salle boys and Radnor girls continue to hold the top spots in the Pennsylvania Media Lacrosse Rankings as district play begins this week.
La Salle (4-0 league, 12-4 overall) has two more home games to play in the Catholic League North – today against Lansdale Catholic (4-1) and Tuesday against Archbishop Wood (5-0), which currently leads the Explorers by a half-game. The District 12 (Catholic League) playoffs begin Friday with quarterfinal action.
The Radnor girls wrapped up the Central League crown last week with a clutch 19-18 win over Strath Haven. The Red Raiders, seeded No. 1, earned a home game with No. 32 seed Interboro Tuesday in the District 1 tourney.
The PA Media Rankings are chosen by Phillylacrosse.com and six newspapers: The Philadelphia Inquirer, Delaware County Daily Times, Allentown Morning Call, Harrisburg Patriot-News, Lancaster Intelligencer Journal and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
