Three from Harriton, Conestoga head All-Central boys soccer
It’s a testament to the depth in the Central League this season that the two teams to make PIAA finals had just one representative each on the All-Central first team.
Strath Haven’s Nate Perrins and Radnor’s Bobby Kirsch were the honorees for the finalists in the Class 3A and 4A finals, respectively. Perrins was the league’s runner-up MVP, winning a tiebreaker with Conestoga goalkeeper Luke Smith.
Harriton’s Alex Kades was named the league MVP, while the Rams’ Biff Sturla earned coach of the year recognition. The Rams and Conestoga each garnered three first-team nods each, and Lower Merion added two.
Joining that contingent on the first team was Haverford’s Will Gardner and Penncrest’s Max Brown. Below is the full list of All-Central honorees.
