2012 State Playoffs

Last night in the district 1 Final #19 seed Abington defeated Central Bucks East 2-1, making them the highest seeded team to ever win a District 1 Title. In the 3rd place game it was Souderton beating Pennsbury 2-1. A new first for District 1 Boy's Soccer is that this year they will be sending 5 teams (not their usual 4) to the PIAA State Playoffs. Downingtown West got the 5th place seed with a win over West Chester Rustin in the playback bracket.

The State Playoffs began in 1973, with Lower Merion qualifying 8 times. The Aces reached the Championship game in 1984, 1987, & 1988, winning the PIAA State Crown in 1987 (pictured below).
