B-11 championship: Reardan (10-1) vs. DeSales (12-1), Saturday, 4 p.m.

This is the DeSales Irish’s fourth State B-11 championship game this century, but they have yet to win the title, something they accomplished four times in the 1990s. Reardan was one of the schools that denied DeSales, turning the trick in 2003, the second of the Indians’ two consecutive titles.
