A lone boys basketball game on Monday evening leads into a full Tuesday on the hardwood for both boys and girls. Meanwhile, the wrestling and swmiing action is spread all week.

With January coming to a close, these teams are beginning to look at point indices and seedings as the postseason is creeping ever closer.

Girls basketball

Tuesday

Ss. Peter and Paul (5-3) at Gunston, 4:30 p.m.

Archmere (4-5) at Newark Charter (7-4), 5:15 p.m.

St. Georges (8-2) at Ursuline (6-3), 6:45 p.m. The streaking Hawks, winners of six straight, make their way to Wilmington to face another team that is playing well. Ursuline has won three straight games. St. Georges junior Elia Richardson and freshman Chastity Wilson will present a challenge to the Raiders’ trademark stingy defense.

Salesianum (3-6) at Middletown (7-4), 6:30 p.m. Middletown brings one of the taller lineups in Delaware, but the Sals are no stranger to bigs, having played a number of out-of-state powers in the early season. The Sals made 10 three-point shots in their most recent win, over William Penn, and outside shooting could be a key against the Cavaliers.

Wednesday

Saint Mark’s at Delmarva Christian (7-2), 6 p.m. The Spartans and Royals are no strangers to each other, having split two games last season.
