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.

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.

RIDGELY — Easton High’s volleyball team had lost a marathon-like first set and was staring at a 10-0 deficit in the second. “The whole time I was thinking, ‘this could be my last game,’” Warrior setter Heaven Murray said. “‘We got to play harder than we ever could before.’” Whether this was the hardest Easton played all season may be a matter of opinion, but the the third-seeded Warriors played hard enough Friday night to pull out a 26-28, 26-24, 25-17, 25-18 victory over No. 2 seed North Caroline in a Class 2A East Region II semifinal. The Warriors (13-4), who have won eight of nine, including their last six, advance to Wednesday’s region final at unbeaten top seed Kent Island (17-0) at 5 p.m. The two-time defending region champion Bucs defeated Queen Anne’s, 25-16, 25-19, 25-12 in Friday’s other semifinal. “It was incredible,” Murray said of Easton rallying from being down 10-0 in the second set. “Whenever Cam (Webb) went on that serving run I was like, ‘Yes, this is the momentum we need to actual shift and change the game.’” North Caroline (11-4), which split with Easton during the regular season, outlasted the Warriors in the opening set,
