DIAA 3A Playoff Scenarios entering Week 11

We know the 8 teams who will make up the Class 3A field, but there's still room for a lot of changes in the order. The simplest solution would be Middletown defeating Appoquinimink on Friday night to clinch Class 3A-1 directly, and not avoid a tiebreaker, which they'd still win unless they gave up at least 32 points to the Jags in a loss.

St. Georges Bridge to close one direction at a time for weeks

Weeks of traffic restrictions on the St. Georges Bridge begin in a matter of hours, with drivers losing access to one direction of the bridge at a time through mid-December. The first closure will affect southbound traffic beginning Nov. 9 and is expected to last until Nov. 30, though the schedule is subject to change. Once that work is completed, crews will switch sides, closing northbound traffic until about mid-December. Bicyclists and emergency vehicles will continue to have access during the closures, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which said it will keep the Delaware Department of Transportation updated on the work. The 84-year-old steel tied-arch bridge carries U.S. Route 13 across the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal in St. Georges.

National Scrapple Day in Delaware brings fun ideas to munch on

Delaware is a little off-center to many people who aren't from here, and so is some of the state's favorite food. Scrapple is arguably the most unique food tied to Delaware, partly because it's a little divisive. This meaty loaf is so special that it gets its own holiday: National Scrapple Day , celebrated on Nov. 9. While Delawareans typically eat scrapple like a piece of breakfast sausage, here are more interesting ways to eat it, plus the origin story of scrapple for those who are new. The Meat Stands Alone: Most Uniquely Delaware thing of all? You either love it or hate it Scrapple cheesesteak and fries If it takes a mountain of French fries to satisfy your cravings, you might want to try some meaty scrapple fries. These treats are a (metaphorical) hill worth dying on. Little Creek Grill near Dover specializes in these bars of meat that look more like French toast sticks than French fries. Like regular fries, these scrapple delights can be dipped into ketchup (or maple syrup). Other interesting scrapple items at Little Creek grill include "The Scrappy," a sandwich that fights for your appetite. The Scrappy is made with Hughes Delaware Maid Scrapple
