Some schools are off this week for Easter break, and the scholastic sports schedule is not as heavy as it normally would be. But after a quiet Monday, several teams get back at it on Tuesday. Fans of baseball, softball and lacrosse in particular can find plenty of action, and the end of the week brings a top-notch boys volleyball matchup.
