Notes: Haverford School retains the No. 1 spot despite falling to Malvern Prep in the Inter-Ac Tournament finale. Why? The Fords went 10-0 in winning the Inter-Ac championship, beat Malvern twice and toppled No. 1 St. Anthony’s as well as other nationally-ranked teams. Their only other losses were to the No. 1 and No. 2 teams (Lawrenceville School and McDonogh School) in both national polls. Radnor can stake its claim in the PIAA postseason. Malvern Prep finished strong and has its say.
