Four members of 2012 state runner-up Strath Haven and three members of two-time defending state champion Garnet Valley have made their commitments final during the National Letter of Intent early period.
All seven were starters in the state championship game in June when Garnet Valley edged Strayh Haven, 10-9, in overtime to win the crown. All seven also play for Brandywine Majors Lacrosse club. The players are coached at Brandywine by Karen Borbee and Betsy Glassford.
