Notable: Another non-conference matchup for Blue Devils with playoff implications for both teams in Class 3A.

Chestnut Ridge at Bishop Guilfoyle, 7:15

Notable: Lady Lions hung tough at home against one of the top Mid-Penn teams, but they will need more offense the second time around to get a win.
