With the basketball regular season about half over, observers have started to look toward the postseason. There are a few games this week that will grab attention and could possibly sell out their buildings.
On the boys’ side, Archmere welcomes St. Elizabeth in a key Diamond State Athletic Conference matchup. Archmere students have taken notice of the Auks’ fast start and and are likely to show up in big numbers. The Auks are the opponents a few nights later when Saint Mark’s celebrates the life of their late athletic director, Matt Smith. And high-powered Howard will be firing away in a battle with Salesianum that is sure to sell out.
Archmere and St. Elizabeth also meet Tuesday on the girls’ side as the Auks attempt to upset the top-ranked Vikings. Two days later, they visit a Conrad team with designs on the Blue Hen Conference Flight B championship.
There is a chance of snow later this week, so make sure games are still on before heading out.
