<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nRed Lion (8-1) at Saint Mark\u2019s (4-5), 7 p.m.<\/strong> The Spartans have turned their season around after an 0-3 start, and a win over the Lions in the regular-season finale would secure them their Class 2A district and an automatic bid into the state tournament. They are still in the running for the postseason with a loss, but they would likely have to get some help from other teams.<\/span><\/p>\nWilliam Penn (0-9) at Salesianum (7-2), 7 p.m.<\/strong> Salesianum returns to the field after a week off, although they did pick up a forfeit win over Caravel during their break. With a win and some help elsewhere, the Sals could host a first-round playoff game; otherwise, they\u2019ll be road warriors.<\/span><\/p>\nSaturday, Nov. 14<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nHoward (8-1) at Archmere (8-1), 11 a.m.<\/strong> Archmere is headed to the playoffs after another outstanding season. They would secure their district title with a win over the Wildcats, but Howard will be the toughest opponent the Auks have faced all season.<\/span><\/p>\nMcKean (1-8) vs. St. Elizabeth (3-6), 11 a.m.<\/strong> at Abessinio Stadium. The Vikings close out the regular season by hosting the Highlanders. St. Elizabeth needs a win and some help to make the Class 1A state tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
