St. Elizabeth (6-4) at Caravel (6-6), 7:15 p.m. The Vikings travel to Bear for a meeting between two teams that are annually among the state’s best. This season, St. Elizabeth has the veteran presence, while the Buccaneers have reloaded with a bunch of youngsters. Caravel ended the Vikings’ season last year in the state semifinal round.
Tatnall (9-3) at Padua (6-5), 7:15 p.m. The Pandas are home for another matchup with a quality opponent. The Hornets are young, but they have talented players inside and out.
