With the calendar hitting February, teams are scrambling to make up games lost for various reasons. That means fans of high school sports can find something to attend of watch nearly every day or night of the week.

With three weeks left in the basketball regular season, attention is turning to point indices and tournament seeding. Wrestling and swimming are even closer to the postseason. Wrestling is in its last week of dual meets, with the dual meet championships scheduled to begin Feb. 9, with swimming later in February.

Woodbridge (9-0) at St. Elizabeth, 2 p.m. The Vikings wrap up a busy week at the St. E Center against their second opponent to enter the week undefeated.
