1. Good Counsel, 8-0/5-0, LW 1
The Falcons are getting the big plays from Jelani Jenkins, Caleb Porzel, Tyler Campbell, E.J. Scott and Mike Wallace on offense. But they still had way too many turnovers against St. John’s. That’s something that, despite the talent the Falcons have, could end up biting them come playoffs.
Next: Saturday at Gonzaga, 2:30
2. DeMatha, 7-2/4-1, LW 2
DeMatha is on a roll and certainly looks better now than when it faced Good Counsel. Tommy Chroniger seems to be getting more elusive as a runner and Marcus Coker is developing as a bruising back.
Next: Saturday vs. St. John’s, 2:30
3. St. John’s, 6-2/4-1, LW 3
It wasn’t pretty for St. John’s on Friday but nobody has put up a good game against Good Counsel. The Cadets just committed too many turnovers to win. This week’s game against DeMatha could show more about just how good St. John’s is.
Next: Saturday at DeMatha, 2:30
4. O’Connell, 5-3/2-3, LW 4
The Knights have now lost two straight against the WCAC’s top two teams, Good Counsel and DeMatha. This has forced them into a three-way tie with Gonzaga and McNamara. The Knights have a blowout win over Gonzaga under their belt and need a win over McNamara to reach the playoffs.
Next: Saturday vs. McNamara, 2:30
5. Paul VI, 3-5/1-4, LW 7
The Panthers finally pulled out a close win over Gonzaga. Just think, if they had held on to beat McNamara and topped St. John’s in double overtime, the Panthers would be well on their way to a playoff spot right now.
Next: Saturday at Archbishop Carroll, 2:30
6. Gonzaga, 2-6/2-3, LW 5
The Eagles put themselves in a much tougher spot after losing to Paul VI. It doesn’t get any easier from here with Good Counsel next and St. John’s after that.
Next: Saturday vs. Good Counsel, 2:30
7. McNamara, 4-4/2-3, LW 6
Bishop McNamara needs to beat O’Connell, simple as that. If they do, they’re in the front seat for the fourth playoff spot. If not, they’re out.
Next: Saturday at O’Connell, 2:30
8. Bishop Ireton, 4-5, LW 8
The Cardinals beat up on St. Mary’s Ryken, the other pseudo-WCAC team, this past week to end its losing skid. Sidewell Friends, who has only two wins in which one came against Ryken, presents an opportunity to get to .500.
Next: Saturday at Sidwell Friends, 2
9. Archbishop Carroll, 1-7/0-5, LW 9
The Lions fell to McNamara but didn’t go without a little roar. The two teams were tied at 7 before McNamara scored two straight touchdowns. Carroll also caused a safety.
Next: Saturday vs. Paul VI, 2:30
10. St. Mary’s Ryken, 1-6, LW 10
Another loss but Ryken has a week off to mull things over and keep on improving.
Next: Friday, Nov. 7 at Bullis, 7
