The March Nor'easter couldn't keep Archbishop Carroll down.

The headline news from this week's installment of the Harrisburg Patriot-News' PIAA polls is Carroll's ascension from No. 5 to No. 2 in the Class AAA rankings. Grabbing the third seed from District 12, the Patriots (22-3) leapfrogged District Seven's Chartiers Valley (24-1), which suffered its first loss. The poll also had two teams drop completely out of the top 10.

In other news, Penn Wood (23-4) sank from No. 2 to No. 4 with its fall in the District One Class AAAA title game. And Chester (23-4), which earned the district's fifth seed in states, moved up one spot to No. 5.

Just got word from Penn Wood High School's Athletics Department: the game is on.

The highly-touted rematch between Penn Wood and Chester will be played tonight at 7 p.m. at Penn Wood Middle School in Darby. The impending snow and ice storms will not cause it cancellation.

Penn Wood, ranked No. 4 in the latest PIAA Class AAAA poll, lost its first meeting of the season with Chester, the current third-ranked team in the state. Making matters worse, the Patriots (15-2, 5-1) are coming off a loss to Lower Merion in the Kobe Bryant Classic.

The Clippers (15-1, 6-0) meanwhile could lock up (basically) an 11th consecutive Del Val League championship with a win tonight.

See you at the gym tonight.

After Tuesday night, there will still be two unbeaten teams in the Central League.

The Penncrest (10-0) at Conestoga (11-0) game that was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday has been cancelled, according to Penncrest coach Mike Doyle. The Conestoga Athletic office said it was a "preemptive move" because of the ice storm headed our way.

The game is the only meeting this season between the teams, which are in the Central League's small- and large-school "divisions" (enrollment-based groupings used for scheduling purposes). Doyle said the game has been moved to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

For more information on the game and for future rescheduling of it, fans are urged to call Conestoga's sports hotline at 610.240.1042.

You heard it here first, folks.

Well, Mother Nature interrupted the World Series ... so why not the District One boys soccer playoffs?

Only two teams from Delaware County (Springfield and Delco Christian) are still alive, and their chances of playing Tuesday look grim. Weather.com calls for 80 percent chance of rain until noon, and showers thereafter.

The schedule, listed below, is in serious question:
Class AA: No. 4 Springfield vs. No. 1 Holy Ghost Prep, at CB West, 7 p.m.
Class A: No. 1 Delco Christian vs. No. 4 New Hope, at Harry S Truman, 5:45 p.m.

I'll be in touch with DC coach Brown Vincent and Springfield coach Jason Piombino Tuesday and will post the latest on the status of those games right here, so be sure to check back. This way, you can save yourself a drive to either of those neutral, Bucks County schools and can stay home (and dry) for the Phillies-Rays in Game 5.

It's supposed to rain today. A lot.

Already plagued by some serious rainfall this season, the baseball scheduled might get even more jumbled if the forecasted rain storms come to fruition.

There are only a few games scheduled for today, five to be exact. So stay close to Gettin' Schooled for postponements. If I hear anything, you'll be the first to know.
