With the Christmas break in the rear-view mirror, the various sports teams can return to busier weeks. Some programs, like Salesianum basketball, has already played 13 of its 20 regular-season games, while the Archmere girls only have five contests in thus far.
There are some big girls basketball games to watch this week, with both Padua and St. Elizabeth welcoming in opponents that, like themselves, anticipate a deep tournament run. The Auks, meanwhile, cap a three-game week on the road against a quality Appoquinimink team.
In boys action, Tuesday night is home to two of the more anticipated games on the schedule. St. Elizabeth has a key Diamond State Conference game, while Salesianum continues with its tough-as-nails competition.
Swimming also has an intriguing battle to close out the week. with Wilmington Charter’s undefeated boys and girls battling Salesianum and Padua.
