MATCHUP

No. 5 St. John’s College (Washington, D.C.) at No. 11 St. Joseph’s Prep (Philadelphia)

When: 9/6

Analysis: Two of the best quarterbacks in the region, Sol-Jay Maiava and Kyle McCord will go head-to-head in a battle that could decide the East, depending on the fate of St. Frances Academy. But that’s not the only position battle. Which wide receiver will be the stand out: Rakim Jarrett or Marvin Harrison Jr.? Will Mekhail Sherman or Jeremiah Trotter Jr. be a bigger difference-maker at linebacker? In a star-studded matchup with regional importance, this is a game to see.
