Today

No. 10 Patterson (7-2)

at Lake Clifton (6-3)

Time: 2:30 p.m.

Outlook: A win in this Baltimore City 4A League game continues Patterson's hopes for a state playoff berth. A loss eliminates the Clippers (3-0 league) from the playoffs and earns Lake Clifton (2-1 league) a share of the league crown with the Clippers and Walbrook.

St. Paul's (5-4)

at No. 13 Boys' Latin (7-1)

Time: 2:30 p.m.

Outlook: This non-league Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association clash pits B Conference Gold Division contender St. Paul's against Silver Division champ Boys' Latin. Severn, the teams' only common opponent, beat St. Paul's but was beaten by Boys' Latin.

Edgewood (6-3) at Aberdeen (4-4)

Time: 7 p.m.

Outlook: The visiting Rams (4-2 league) will be trying for a share of the Harford County League title. Edgewood is tied for the lead with Havre de Grace (4-2 league), an earlier loser to Aberdeen (2-4 league). Edgewood also has a slim Class 2A playoff shot.

Joppatowne (6-3)

at Havre de Grace (4-5)

Time: 7 p.m.

Outlook: Joppatowne, Class 2A runner-up last fall, won't make this year's playoffs. But a win by the visiting Mariners (3-3 in Harford County) keeps alive hope for sharing in their second straight county title. A win by Havre de Grace (4-2 league) assures the Warriors a county-title piece and maintains their slim Class 1A playoff hopes.

Tomorrow

Poly (6-3) vs. No. 9 City (7-2)

Site: Morgan State's Hughes Stadium

Time: Noon

Outlook: City (1-1 league) enters this Baltimore City Class 2A contest - the teams' 114th annual meeting - having clinched a state playoff berth. City was unbeaten a year ago when it was upset, 20-6, by a 7-2 Poly squad that later had to forfeit the win because of having used an ineligible player. Poly (1-1 league) leads the series, 55-53-6.

McDonogh (3-5) at No. 1 Gilman (9-0)

Time: 1 p.m.

Outlook: The Eagles (1-2 league) have won three of their last four games this season but trail in this series, 51-30-5, last winning, 7-0, in 2000 and losing 17-14 last year. Gilman (3-0 league), ranked No. 15 nationally, already has clinched at least a tie for its fifth straight MIAA A Conference crown.

No. 11 Dundalk (8-1) at Parkville (5-4)

Time: 1 p.m.

Outlook: The visiting Owls (7-1 league) have clinched a 3A state playoff berth - the school's first since 1990. Dundalk also can clinch the school's best regular-season record and at least a tie for the Baltimore County 4A-3A crown. But Parkville (5-3 league), one of the league's hottest teams, has won three straight games and four of five.
