Archmere (2-4) at Salesianum (4-2), 7:30 p.m. The Sals dropped two tough games to non-Delaware foes. The Auks look to bounce back after a pair of losses at the Garnet Valley (Pa.) tournament.

Delaware Military Academy (1-3) at Archmere, 6:15 p.m.

Salesianum at St. Elizabeth (4-2), 7:30 p.m. The eighth-ranked Sals travel to the seventh-ranked Vikings for a Friday night showdown. The Vikings backcourt is tough to handle, but the Sals will counter with a potent frontcourt that will look to dominate inside.  Get to the St E’s center early and enjoy this Catholic showdown.

St Mark’s (5-0) at A.I. DuPont (5-1), 12:30 p.m. The No. 9 Spartans get their first real test this season as they travel to the 10th-ranked Tigers for a rare Saturday afternoon basketball game.
