Dover v William Penn @Dover 6pm
The party gets started early! First game of the season for both teams is a top 10 matchup. Over the last 6 seasons combined, Dover has lost only a total of 5 home games. Are the William Penn freshmen really ready? "We gonn see!"

St. Andrew's v Odessa @St Andrew's 530pm
This same matchup featuring many of the same players occurred last season and Odessa ran away with it (70-31). We're of the belief that the 6'10" Darnell Lloyd and 6'7" Elijah Proctor-Moore of St Andrew's will be determined to alter that ending.

ECHS v Seaford @ECHS 7pm
Believe it or not, this is a GET THERE EARLY situation! The undersized gym will be filled (overfilled) to capacity for this one. Conference title hopes are on the line and four of the most exciting players statewide will be on display. Those players: Elisha Johnson-Dixon (ECHS), Az'juan "Mikey" Matthews (Seaford), Vincent Evans III (Seaford), Jordan Smith (Seaford)

William Penn v St. Elizabeth @William Penn 5pm
The Colonial Nation gets their first glimpse of the future as the youngsters will get their first home game experience. Considering who the opponent is, we're expecting a full house! The Vikings of St Elizabeth bring a veteran group poised to silence the crowd.

Middletown v Sanford @MIddletown 530pm
Another GET THERE EARLY special! Even if you have prepaid tickets, still GET THERE EARLY. Two of the top teams in the state, one laden with youth (Middletown) and one laden with veterans (Sanford). The home team has arguably the top sophomore in the state in 6'2" Jaelen Murphy, and the visiting Warriors has one of the top prospects in the entire region in 6'8" SR Jayden Taylor.

Cape Henlopen v Sussex Central @Cape Henlopen 630pm
RIVALRY ALERT! We're not sure if they don't like each other or just love to compete against one another. Either way, it's intense! Cape Henlopen will be led by their do it all SUPER SOPHOMORE Jameson Tingle and his new tag team partner (formerly of Sussex Central) Damian Robinson who like play above the rim. Sussex Central will be armed with the veteran trio of David Maker, Brandon Spencer and newcomer Jayden Dukes (formerly of Cape Henlopen).

Salesianum v St. Andrew's @Salesianum 145pm
The last time (last season) these two teams faced each other, it was a nailbiter that was actually even closer than the score indicates. The Sals led by just just 2pts entering the 4th qtr and managed to hang on to win it in the end 46-41. Darnell Lloyd (St Andrew's) was nearly unstoppable, accounting for 27 of St. Andrew's total 41pts. He also snagged 13rbs and blocked 4 shots. Almost all of the Sals faces will have changed but the big versatile fella Robbie "RJ" Johnson still remains and ought to be a matchup problem. With both teams having high expectations for this coming season, this stands to be a good early test. Salesianum's guard play led by newcomer Latrell Wright could be the deciding factor. Ought to be a good one!

The Hammer and Nail Championship Game @St Georges TBD
If our preseason expectations are accurate, this game will be St. George's v Howard
If so, this game will be a star-studded affair and solid early test for both teams.

Dover v Cape Henlopen @Dover 7pm
The defending champs are on their home court again. This time against whom is likely their strongest in-conference competition.
12/19/24
St. Elizabeth v St. George's @St Elizabeth 515pm
Presently St. Elizabeth is firmly within the lists of Top teams statewide, St. George's is sitting slightly outside. There's nothing like a head-to-head matchup to clear up any confusion.
