Delmar started off the season 0-3, but have run off seven consectutive victories, including a 12-6 win over top seed Laurel two short weeks ago.

Friday night in Bob Peoples Stadium at Caravel will feature fourth seed Pencader Charte (8-2)against five seed Red Lion Christian Academy, also (8-2). Red lion is coming off wins over Friends, and Caravel last week. QB DJ Russell has favorite targets in Tommy LeNoir and Seth Penhollow, but the Titans need to keep an eye on RB Jhurrell Pressley who has six touchdown runs over 45 yards this year. Pencader gets their first playoff spot in their young school history and will look to ride the strong arm of quarterback Brandon Norman. Norman's targets include brother Brian, and Darrell Miller Smith. Jerome Smith and Kellen Raison will line up in the backfield to give balance to the Titan attack. This game could have two already exuberant crowds on the edge of their seats the entire night.
