Presenting the 2018 All-Main Line boys’ lacrosse teams

Malvern Prep, Haverford School and Conestoga led the way on the Main Line high school boys’ lacrosse scene this spring.
Malvern Prep (15-5 overall) defeated Haverford School (16-4) in the Inter-Ac tournament championship final, while the Fords (16-4 overall) won the Inter-Ac regular season title.
Conestoga (19-6) was PIAA 3A District 1 runner-up, and advanced to the PIAA state semifinals.
Radnor (15-6) finished fourth in the PIAA 2A District 1 tournament, narrowly missing a PIAA state tournament berth.
Other Main Line squads that enjoyed winning campaigns this spring were Episcopal Academy (8-6), Haverford High (10-9), Shipley (13-5 overall, 4-2 Friends Schools League), Archbishop Carroll (earned its first PIAA tournament berth) and Devon Prep (12-5), which played as a combined team with Delco Christian.
The All-Main Line high school boys’ lacrosse teams are selected by the coaches. Because Main Line Media News covers 19 high schools, the Main Line Media News sports staff limits the number of sports available to first team, second team and honorable mention – but follows the priority of the coaches’ selections.
Two Delaware County coaches did not send a completed All-Main Line nomination ballot, so for those schools, we determined All-Main Line first team, second team and honorable mention honors via US Lacrosse All-American, All-EPLCA, all-league and All-Delco selections.
