It’s a monster Friday night in the Central League, with two huge games that could go a long way toward deciding the league race.

Meanwhile, the Del Val League rolls into its second weekend of league play, while Cardinal O’Hara and Bonner & Prendergast face tough tests again in the Catholic League Red Division.

Let’s take a look at some of the games to watch around Delco.

Springfield at Ridley, 7

The game of the year so far in Delco? It’s hard to argue otherwise.

Two of the county’s biggest rivals and sports-crazed communities meet with both teams sitting at 6-0. Ridley is looking for its first win over Springfield since 2021, while the defending champion Cougars have not lost a league game since 2024.

Springfield is coming off a bye after Harriton canceled its season in August. The Cougars’ last game was a 43-0 rout of Upper Darby. TJ Valletti rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns while also returning an interception for a score.

Ridley took down Upper Darby, 24-6, last week behind 95 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Jamar Savoy. Kevin Farley had seven tackles and Yuron Villanueva added a sack.

Strath Haven at Garnet Valley, 7

The Jaguars (6-0) rolled past Conestoga, 48-21, last Friday. Colton Turner completed 7 of 9 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown and added 57 rushing yards and two scores. Roy Pomarico also ran for two touchdowns, while Michael Buono hauled in two passes for 86 yards, with both receptions going for TDs.

The Panthers (5-1) have senior Landon Barlow, who topped 200 rushing yards for the second straight week in last Friday’s 45-14 handling of Marple Newtown. Tyler Slaughter led the Panthers defense with 10 tackles and a sack.

Academy Park at Chester, 11 a.m. Saturday

The Knights (4-2) are coming off one of the wildest finishes of the Delco football season, beating Chichester on a last-second touchdown pass from Marquise Spross to Mace Watts-Crews, after they had allowed the host Eagles to erase a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter.

Zane Guillory rushed for 109 yards, while My’les Boone added 92 yards on the ground and made an impact in the secondary.

The Clippers (6-0) have won the Del Val League four straight years and showed again last week why they remain the team to beat. Freshman running back Sa’Mhad Williams rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Senior quarterback Kenjai Gatling threw for 90 yards and a touchdown and added 52 rushing yards and two scores.

Interboro at Penn Wood, 1 p.m., Saturday

The Bucs (5-1) are looking to bounce back after suffering their first loss of the season, a 36-14 setback against Chester last Friday. Senior quarterback Momodu Rogers ran for 92 yards and threw a touchdown pass.

The Patriots (2-4) are trying to snap a three-game losing streak. They fell to Executive Education, which joined the Del Val League for football only this season, 22-6 last Friday.
