After a relatively quiet first week with mild weather, this week in spring high school sports has a much busier slate, but the cold weather has already forced all of the games from Delaware involving Catholic schools to be postponed.. Bundle up before heading out, and, as always, make sure your game is still on the schedule.
For the games on the schedule, a few stand out.
