Chesapeake-AA (7-2) at Northeast (6-3)

42nd meeting Friday, 6:30 p.m. Coaches: Rob Elliott, Chesapeake; Brian Baublitz, Northeast About the rivalry: Chesapeake has won six of the past seven Dena Bowls between these two Anne Arundel County schools just six miles apart. The Cougars’ 17-0 victory last season avenged a 28-22 loss to Northeast in 2016.The series was tied through 2010, but Chesapeake’s run of five wins from 2011 to 2015 put the Cougars ahead and they now lead 23-18. Players to watch: Chesapeake senior Russell Tongue has 27 receptions for 631 yards and seven touchdowns while doubling as a defensive back with four interceptions. For the Eagles, senior Joshua Krcik has run for 826 yards and has 1,400 all-purpose yards for a team averaging 326 yards per game. About the game: Both teams have clinched berths in the Class 3A East regions, so it’s possible they could meet again in the playoffs, but that takes nothing away from the rivalry game. Look for a clash between Chesapeake’s high-powered passing attack and the Eagles’ steady running game.
