1. Good Counsel, 7-0, LW 1
Good Counsel made short work of McNamara but St. John’s will be a different story. Then again, I thought the Good Counsel-DeMatha game would be a barn-burner. Good Counsel blew out O’Connell who nearly beat St. John’s.
Next: Saturday at McNamara, 2
2. DeMatha, 5-2, LW 2
The Stags beat up on Gonzaga in D.C. but will likely face a more challenging test this week against O’Connell. Tommy Chroniger continues to impress with his running abilities.
Next: Saturday at Gonzaga, 2
3. St. John’s, 6-1, LW 3
The Cadets are becoming the master of pulling out close games. Ed Thomas continues to impress and even quarterback Robert Cadle is getting a lot of reps and doing well. St. John’s needs to keep it close against the Falcons and hope to pull it out.
Next: Friday at Good Counsel, 7
4. O’Connell, 5-2, LW 4
O’Connell was tied with Carroll at halftime. Joshua Trimble had 19 rushes for 95 yards to pull the Knights to a win.
Next: Saturday vs. DeMatha, 2
5. Gonzaga, 2-5, LW 5
The Eagles had a lot of momentum going into the DeMatha game. They have to try to get up again realizing that Paul VI is a very good team hungry to get a win.
Next: Friday at Paul VI, 2
6. McNamara, 3-4, LW 6
The Mustangs slip below .500 and it’s looking difficult for them to get into the WCAC playoffs. They need to beat Carroll on Saturday and then hope to take out O’Connell. McNamara’s defense needs to step up after being thrashed the last two games.
Next: Saturday vs. Carroll, 2
7. Paul VI, 2-5, LW 7
You’ve got to feel for the Panthers. In the past three weeks they’ve taken Bishop McNamara, DeMatha and St. John’s to the wire and come up with three losses to show for it. This may be the week to rebound.
Next: Friday vs. Gonzaga, 7
8. Bishop Ireton, 2-5, LW 8
Ireton lost its second straight against Riverdale Baptist and is struggling without the senior leadership it had last season. A game against Ryken could help ease the pain, however.
Next: Saturday vs. St. Mary’s Ryken, 2
9. Archbishop Carroll, 1-6, LW 9
Carroll gave O’Connell a run for its money in perhaps the most surprising game of the weekend. There’s no doubt that the Lions have talent, but can they put together a full game and win?
Next: Saturday at McNamara, 2
10. St. Mary’s Ryken, 1-6, LW 10
It’s not pretty in Southern Maryland now, but I have no doubt that Bob Harmon and the Knights are working hard and will improve in the coming seasons. They have another chance to improve against a team like themselves, an WCAC football outsider.
Next: Saturday at Bishop Ireton, 2
