We’ll kick off with the girls this week, with a basketball game to see just about every day. It pays off with a pair of overlapping games on Saturday involving four of the better teams in the state.
Another event to keep an eye on takes place in the pool. Saint Mark’s, whose boys and girls swimming teams are both undefeated in the opening weeks, travels to Concord on Friday to meet the Raiders, who also have a pair of unbeaten teams. And on the mats, Caravel and Salesianum get together for a highly anticipated wrestling showdown.
