While many teams got their winter seasons started last week, a few have their debuts this week. A relatively light week in boys basketball (until Saturday) includes the opener for Archmere; the girls have a busy Tuesday before slowing down for most of the rest of the week. It’s wrestling tournament season, but an early dual meet is a good one. Caesar Rodney travels north to take on Saint Mark’s on Wednesday.
