5-1 Upper Arlington continues its 4-game homestand Wednesday night, hosting rival Dublin Scioto at 7:30 at Marv Moorehead Stadium. The Golden Bears are getting into the heart of their schedule against Central Ohio's finest.

"We've played a lot of big games against them," UA Head Coach Ted Wolford said. "We've played them for the state in past years and they've always been very scrappy. They get after it. They work through the entire ballgame and they are unpredictable and aggressive." Scioto has played well early with an 11-5 win over Thomas Worthington already to its credit. Added Wolford of the Irish, "They have a young but rich tradition."

The Bears are coming off a busy weekend, losing an overtime game to Midwest rival Brother Rice Friday night before beating Detroit Jesuit, 9-2 Saturday afternoon.
