Holy Redeemer will try to become the first District 2 boys team to clinch a division title outright tonight when it travels to Wyoming Area for a Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 game.

The Royals, the top-ranked Small School boys team in the My City Mortgage Super Six Power Rankings of District 2 teams, are 10-0 in the division for the only perfect league record by any boys team in the district. They are 16-3 overall, including a 78-34 rout in the first meeting with Wyoming Area (5-5, 8-10).

The top three teams in Lackawanna League Division 1 and the Division 2 champion are involved in a pair of games that highlight the girls schedule.
