OK, gang - here are the up-to-date standings for the Del Val League:

DEL VAL LEAGUE
(Through Wednesday)
Team ................... League, Overall
Penn Wood ........... 5-0 ..... 13-3
Chester ................. 4-1 .... 10-4
Glen Mills ............. 3-2 ..... 6-8
Academy Park ....... 1-4 ..... 7-8
Chichester ............. 1-4 .... 8-6
Interboro ............... 0-5 .... 3-11

Here are some things to consider for the remainder of the season:
1. The Chase for the Crown. It appears to be a two-horse race yet again, between last year's co-champs Penn Wood and Chester. Should the Clippers - who lost an earlier meeting with the Patriots - get retribution in their rematch next week, it would seem to set up another shared title situation.
2. Postseason positioning. It'd be hard to imagine Glen Mills and Chichester, unless either goes on an unforeseen slide toward the regular-season finale, missing the District One Class AAAA playoffs. And Academy Park, given a little push here, could sneak in, too. So every ... game ... matters. The battle for third place in the Del Val could get ugly.
3. Bucs in the basement. For as perennially strong as its football team is, Interboro's basketball program continues to struggle. Should the Bucs go winless within league play, it would mark a second consecutive season of failing to net a single Del Val victory.
