For five straight seasons now, the Potomac School Panthers have finished with a 3-1 record in the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Conference. But unlike the past four full campaigns, that mark was good enough this fall to give the high-school football team a share of the league title, tying for first with the St. James Saints.
Potomac School (6-2 overall this fall) finished second in the MAC the last four full seasons. The MAC crown is the team’s first since winning the title in 2011 with a 4-0 record.
The Panthers clinched a share of the 2022 championship on Nov. 4 with a 45-0 road rout over the Sidwell Friends Quakers in D.C.
In that game, Potomac School took a quick 21-0 lead and were in control. Most of the starters didn’t play in the second half.
“The win was good because everyone got to play,” Potomac School coach C.J. Remmo said. “They worked hard all year and played for each other and their school.”
