Staff Report
Perkiomen Valley had last won a boys’ lacrosse championship in 2006 – in a conference, the Penn Valley League, long since disbanded.
But in recent years, the Vikings had come close, falling to perennial champion Spring-Ford in the league title game in 2018 and 2019. And after the lost COVID-19 year fo 2020, the Vikings knew they would be competing for the 2021 PAC championship.
Finally, the dream came true as host PV blitzed undermanned Interboro, 17-1, Wednesday to finish a perfect league season. This year, due to COVID, there will be no championship tournament so regular season games decided the champ.
PV went 9-0 (the Vikings are 10-0 overall), including two one-goal wins, over nine-time defending champion Spring-Ford and Methacton.
Matt Farrington had four goals and an assist and Jack Scaliti added two goals and four assists for the Vikings. Dillon Kane and Shane Fusco each had three goals and Dane Hagen had two goals and two assists. Meanwhile, Dallas Pullium (10/10), Colin Delo (9/9) and Luke Hanlon (2/3) combined to go 21 of 22 at the faceoff X.
Perk Valley is currently No. 2 in the District 1 Class AAA playoff points race, but will play non-league games against some top: Friday vs. District 11’s Emmaus, Saturday vs. District 2’s Crestwood, May 11 vs. PAC rival Owen J. Roberts in a non-league game, May 13 vs. Central League’s Haverford High and then May 14 vs. Suburban One American Conference power Wissahickon.
