<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nSalesianum (6-1) at Middletown, 7 p.m.<\/strong> The Sals will likely clinch their district and no worse than the second seed with a win at Middletown. The Cavaliers, however, are chasing a state tournament bid after a slow start and will be boosted by the cowbells ringing at Cavalier Stadium.<\/p>\nMilford (4-3) at Saint Mark\u2019s (2-5), 7 p.m.<\/strong> The Spartans\u2019 offense has scored some points over the past few weeks, while Milford has lost three in a row after opening with four wins.<\/p>\nSaturday, Oct. 24<\/strong><\/p>\nConcord (5-2) vs. St. Elizabeth (2-5), 11 a.m.<\/strong> at Abessinio Stadium. The Vikings are looking to return to the win column, although Concord has been at or near the top of their district in Class 1A this season.<\/p>\nTatnall (2-5) at Archmere (6-1), noon.<\/strong> The Auks have found much success with their ground game the past three weeks. They\u2019ll battle a Hornets team that has shown it can score but has trouble keeping the opposition out of the end zone.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Archmere (10-3) at Newark Charter (11-2), 7 p.m.<\/strong> The winner of this one will be the Diamond State Athletic Conference champion and get the automatic state tournament bid that comes with it, but both the Auks and Patriots are safely in the 24-team field.
