High school football games to watch

TED SILARY ON CITY LEAGUES

Frankford at Germantown

Public AAAA Quarterfinal

Tonight, 6 o'clock

Thanks in part to the emergence of junior halfback Jeffione Thomas, Frankford has rebounded nicely after getting off to its worst start (1-5) since 1929. Germantown is a dangerous foe thanks to pass-happy QB Ramadan Abdullah and main targets John Ellis and Dominique Twiggs.

Haverford School at Malvern Prep

Inter-Ac League

Today, 3:15

This will determine which school can challenge favored Chestnut Hill for the title. Quick-footed lacrosse stars Carl Walrath (HS) and Bobby Hill (MP) are their teams' main runners. HS also features Temple-bound FB/LB Wyatt Benson.

Frankford at Germantown

Catholic AAA

Tomorrow, 1 o'clock, at Wissahickon

The winner gets first place and the top seed in the upcoming playoffs. NC's Eugene Byrd last week broke the school record for rushing yards with 273. Real estate against Wood's punishing defense will be much tougher to garner.

MICHAEL RADANO ON SOUTH JERSEY

Cinnaminson at Camden Catholic

Tonight, 7 o'clock

This isn't about personal rivalries - Cinnaminson coach Mario Patrizi is an Irish alum - or even about the Burlco/Olympic National Division in which both teams are chasing Bishop Eustace. Instead, this is about Camden Catholic qualifying for the state tournament, which is of great concern since the Irish are ninth out of 10 teams vying for eight Non-Public Group3 spots.

Seneca at Shawnee

Tonight, 7 o'clock

Shawnee has come on strong since an early pair of losses to No.3 Cherokee and Winslow Township. No one would like to derail the Renegades more than sister school Seneca, with both teams eying potential playoff berths.

Winslow Twp. at Timber Creek

Tonight, 7 o'clock

Even with a hard-fought win over Pemberton on Saturday, Timber Creek is still looking to shake off a loss to Shawnee 2 weeks ago. Winslow will challenge the Chargers at the skill positions and this has the chance of being a high-scoring affair.

JOSEPH SANTOLIQUITO ON DELAWARE COUNTY

Glen Mills at Academy Park

Tonight, 7 o'clock

This crucial Del-Val game could determine the playoff fate of both teams. Academy Park is 6-2, but has lost two of three, including a 28-0 setback to Chester last week. Glen Mills is looking for its fourth straight victory, and needs to win to keep alive its faint ClassAAAA playoff hopes.

Garnet Valley at Ridley

Tonight, 7 o'clock

This game will determine the Central League championship, between 8-0 Ridley and 7-1 Garnet Valley, the defending league champion. Garnet Valley scored 42 in its victory over Radnor last week, while the Green Raiders scored 40 in their victory over Springfield. A crowd of close to 7,000 is expected for the game.
