The race for Lackawanna League division titles will boil to a fever pitch Tuesday as first place in all three are at stake as the regular season speeds toward the midway point.

There is no official declaration, but fans could certainly label it “Rivalry Night.”

In Division I, No. 1 Scranton Prep (8-2 overall, 4-0 division) plays at No. 6 Abington Heights (7-5, 4-0).

In Division II, No. 5 Old Forge (9-2, 4-0) is at No. 3 Riverside (11-1, 3-1), and No. 2 Dunmore (11-1, 4-0) visits No. 10 Holy Cross (6-6, 2-2).

In Division III, Lackawanna Trail (8-3, 3-1) is at No. 8, Elk Lake (11-1, 4-0).

Scranton Prep, with its explosive offense and intense defensive pressure, handed Valley View its first loss of the season last week. The Cavaliers, who are the defending division champions, have seven straight wins and are averaging 66.8 points per game.

Packy Doherty leads Scranton Prep and Division I in scoring at 21.3 points per game. The senior is also closing in on a milestone with 983 career points.

The Cavaliers have two other players averaging in double figures in Chicky Skoff (10.8) and Brody Martin (10.6).

Abington Heights is 4-0 in the division and 3-5 against a challenging nonleague schedule. Senior Jordan Shaffer is averaging 18.4 points per game. He has 934 points and 150 3-pointers in his career. Andrew Kettel is sixth in Division I with 15.1 points per game.

The Comets won 12 of the last 15 in the series. Scranton Prep, however, swept both league games last season, winning by 18 and 29 points.

Certainly, the Scranton Prep-Abington Heights game deserves the spotlight in Division I, but there is another game of importance. No. 7 Delaware Valley (9-3, 2-2) plays at No. 4 Valley View (10-1, 2-1) at 6:45 p.m.

Delaware Valley leads the District 2 Class 6A power rating standings. The Warriors have a high-octane offense that scored 60 or more points eight times this season. Sophomore guard Trey Newton is averaging 15.3 points per game, Tyler Lombardo is averaging 12.3, and Colin McGarvey chips in with 10.2 points per game.

Valley View looks to get back on the winning track after losing to Scranton Prep. Cash Roe scored 20 points in the setback and is leading the Cougars at 14.2 points per game. Michael Muto is averaging 11.0 points per game, and Jagger Roe is contributing 9.5 points per game.

Division II

Dunmore sent a message with its thrilling win at Riverside last week.

The Bucks play at borough rival Holy Cross on Tuesday at 7:15 p.m. Dunmore defeated the Crusaders, 96-54, in the Lynett Memorial Basketball Tournament in late December. Brayden Canavan scored 35 points and had four 3-pointers, Jimmy Clark scored 22 points and had six from beyond the arc, Carter Sload scored 15 with five 3-pointers, and Nate Aviles had 11 points.

Dunmore has a balanced attack, led by Sload with 18.4 points per game, followed by Canavan (16.5), Clark (13.3) and Aviles (10.8).

Holy Cross recovered from a four-game losing streak and continues to navigate without leading scorer Adam Badyrka, who hasn’t played in nine games while recovering from an injury.

The Crusaders defeated Mid Valley and Lakeland last week. CJ Thompson, who missed time earlier this year with an injury, is averaging 17.8 points per game, and Colin Farrell is averaging 12.6 points per game.

Dunmore has not won at Holy Cross in 15 years.

Riverside will host its second marquee game of the regular season Tuesday against Old Forge at 7:15 p.m. Riverside won the last four meetings in the series.

Sophomore Nico Antoniacci is closing in on 1,000 career points. The NCAA Division I recruit has 946 points and 130 3-pointers and is averaging 31.2 points per game this season.

Vikings junior Brayden Rose has 820 career points and is contributing 18.9 points per game this season.

Old Forge won seven games since a loss to Valley View. The Blue Devils scored more than 60 points six times this season.

Cameron Parker leads Old Forge in scoring at 16.2 points per game. He has 55 points in his last three division games. Logan Fanning contributes 14.6 points per game, but he did not play last Friday in a win over Western Wayne due to illness.

Division III

Lackawanna Trail and Elk Lake will clash Tuesday at 6:45 p.m.

Elk Lake is 17-1 in the last two seasons against division opponents. The Warriors won seven straight and are averaging 66.8 points per game in their last five.

John Heitsman (16.2 ppg) and Chase Pond (15.8) are fourth and fifth in scoring in the division for the Warriors.

Lackawanna Trail fell behind by double digits early in its showdown with Susquehanna last week. Despite a rally, the Lions lost and fell a game behind the Sabers and Elk Lake in the standings.

Logan Seigle leads the Lions with 13.1 points per game while Jimmy Phillips contributes 11.4.

Last season, Lackawanna Trail snapped an 11-game losing streak to Elk Lake and carried the momentum to an appearance in the District 2 Class 2A final and a trip to the PIAA playoffs.

Susquehanna plays at Carbondale Area (2-10, 1-3) on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The Sabers want to maintain their spot at the top of the standings, knowing they will play at Elk Lake on Friday.

The Sabers’ Griffin Fisk leads Division III in scoring with 21.5 points per game. Mason Keyes is averaging 15.5 points per game for the Sabers.
