Salesianum (Wilmington, Del.) at Middletown (Del.)Supremacy in the Delaware state rankings and a likely top seed in the Division I state playoff brackets are on the line in this No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup. Salesianum (8-0) picked up its third-straight win against an out-of-state opponent with a 42-0 shutout of Avon Grove (Pa.) last week. Five different Salesianum players had rushing touchdowns in the game, including 6-3, 235-pound junior quarterback
Troy Reeder. But Reeder – a North Carolina verbal commitment in lacrosse – injured his foot in the game and may not be able to play this week.

The Cavaliers are explosive on offense, scoring 47 or more points in all seven games and have a 54-14 average margin of victory. Leading the way is
Darius Wade, a talented junior combo quarterback, and senior running back
Jamar Baynard, who ran for six touchdowns in a 57-21 blowout of Appoquinimink (West Middletown) last week.
