Harriton is 7-1 against Upper Darby since January of 2016 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Rams will square off against the Royals at 6:45 p.m. Harriton is coming into the contest on a five-game losing streak.

Harriton managed to slip by Lower Merion the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Rams lost 49-26 to the Aces on Thursday. While losing is never fun, the Rams can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 416th, while the Aces are ranked 177th).

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Upper Darby). They claimed a resounding 51-22 win over Interboro. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

Upper Darby's win ended a seven-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 6-6. As for Harriton, their loss dropped their record down to 1-9.

Harriton beat Upper Darby 45-38 in their previous matchup back in January of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Rams since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
