What to watch

This nonconference meeting brings two Stark/Portage County-area programs together in late-season action. With postseason brackets looming, both clubs will look to sharpen rotations and close out the regular slate on a high note. There is no prior meeting listed this season, so expect coaches to rely on scouting and in-season adjustments.
