The real test has begun for Good Counsel, which started Washington Catholic Athletic Conference play Friday against Gonzaga. The area’s top team will close its regular season with games against Bishop McNamara, St. John’s and DeMatha over the next three weeks.
It is a tough stretch for the Falcons, but they started it strong by defending their home field and earning a 24-7 win over Gonzaga. That tightened Good Counsel’s grip on the No. 1 spot in these rankings.
Most of the area’s best did the same this weekend, as 18 of the 20 ranked teams won. The upsets came in Prince George’s County and Northern Virginia: Douglass fell to Potomac (Md.), and Centreville lost to Madison. Two undefeated teams, St. Mary’s (Annapolis) and Fairfax, slide into those open spots.
