Written by Joe Koch on .

If there's any doubt about the strength of the Upper St. Clair High boys lacrosse schedule, then just take a look a the final four opponents. Beginning with Monday's game at Butler Area, the Panthers will meet a ranked foe in all four of its remaining games.

Butler Area has broken into the top five with an 8-2 record and a schedule that features games with six ranked opponents. In its regular-season finale, Butler Area meets archrival and top-ranked Seneca Valley, the No. 1 team in Laxpower.com's rankings with an 11-1 record.

Next on the agenda are games with No. 8 Peters Township (9-4), No. 9 North Allegheny (7-5) and No. 2 Mt. Lebanon (7-3). The game with the Blue Devils will be the only match between the two border rivals this season. Mt. Lebanon (7-3) has played a schedule that features six regionally-ranked opponents, and the Blue Devils are the only team to defeat No. 1 Seneca Valley this season. Mt. Lebanon edged 11-1 Seneca Valley 7-5 on April 20 at the Raiders' stadium.
