Games of the Week (April 20-24)

One day late but here goes nothing:

Red Land at Cedar Cliff, Wednesday, 4:15 -- Another installment of this can't-miss grudge match. Cedar Cliff leads the Commonwealth while Red Land is a close second. This isn't the game at Sovereign Bank Stadium in York but it should be a great atmosphere for a nasty showdown. There's really nothing better than two rivals butting heads while they're having outstanding seasons. It's Kyle Zimmerman (RL) vs. Jordan Lawson (CC) ... buckle your seat belts.
Susquenita at West Perry, Wednesday, 4:15 -- What happened to the Blackhawks in Newville? Talk about the wheels falling off and rolling back to Duncannon. If the wheels aren't back on by this game, coach Jeff Sanno's Mustangs will be ready to take advantage. West Perry is going through a rough patch but pushed Waynesboro on Monday in a 7-3 loss. If Susquenita isn't ready, West Perry will garner a victory.

Palmyra at Mechanicsburg, Friday, 4 -- Palmyra was one of the few teams to beat Mechanicsburg in the Keystone Division last year. At the time, it looked like an awful loss, but the Cougars eventually qualified for the PIAA Class AAA playoffs. The Wildcats, already with one division loss, need to win this to keep pace with front-running Lower Dauphin. And don't look now, but Hershey is playing really well.

Trinity at Greencastle-Antrim, Friday, 4:15 -- Unless one of these two giants slip up, this will be Round 1 for the Capital Division title. Both are unbeaten in the division at this writing, which makes this game huge. The two will meet again but the winner obviously has the inside track to winning the crown. We think this is the year Trinity stakes its claim to the title and qualifies for the Mid-Penn Tournament.
