School is back in session, and there have been no snow delays for a few days now. High school sports teams are trying to get their games in as the winter season enters its sixth week. The schedule includes a few intriguing basketball matchups, as well as a highly anticipated wrestling battle.

Caravel (6-4) at St. Elizabeth, 5:30 p.m. This remains a marquee matchup on the state girls’ basketball schedule, and this year’s battle should be fun to watch.

But there is plenty of talent among the rest of the two rosters.
