2025-26 MoCo Preview: Standings Predictions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Montgomery County - Central Division: End-Of-Season Standings Predictions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 1 - Walt Whitman Vikes (Finished #1 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 2 - Bethesda Chevy-Chase Barons (Finished #4 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 3 - Walter Johnson Wildcats (Finished #5 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 4 - Wootton Patriots (Finished #2 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 5 - Churchill Bulldogs (Finished #3 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whitman enjoyed a flawless conference record last season and look to do the same this season. BCC is always competitive in the conference and through league play alike. I'm very interested to see the overall finish in this Central division. A lot of talent on each roster and no true way of telling who will pan out on top. The #1 and #2 spots will likely come down to BCC and Walt Whitman, but Whitman is feeling good coming off their championship run. A lot of confidence there after running through the conference their previous season. The Vikes will be the favorite, but will the division pose a true challenge </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Montgomery County - East Division: End-Of-Season Standings Predictions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 1 - James H. Blake Bengals (Finished #1 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 2 - Sherwood Warriors (Finished #2 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 3 - Springbrook Blue Devils (Finished #3 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 4 - Richard Montgomery Rockets (Finished #4 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 5 - Paint Branch Panthers (Finished #5 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blake seems to be the clear runaway favorite in the East division, but Sherwood would have a valid case to walk away with first seed honors. Sherwood knocked off the coveted Blake Bengals last postseason and are confident they can grab the first seed. Springbrook and the RM Rockets will likely battle it out for the 3rd spot in the East as they should be competitive all year. One of the strongest divisions- if not, the strongest division out MoCo this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Montgomery County - West Division: End-Of-Season Standings Predictions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 1 - Northwest Jaguars (Finished #1 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 2 - Clarksburg Coyotes (Finished #4 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 3 - Seneca Valley Screamin' Eagles (Finished #2 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 4 - Quince Orchard Cougars (Finished #4 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 5 - Gaithersburg Trojans (Finished #5 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Northwest is looking loaded this year and ready to run back a dominant run in the West. Seneca Valley and Clarksburg will likely battle for the #2 spot as they have the most talent following the Jaguars. Northwest is filled with guys that can see themselves picking up some offers by the end of the year if they perform at a high level again. Outside of the NW Jaguars, the West division 2-through-5 is up for grabs. Team to watch in the postseason this year will be Northwest representing the West division. The question is how far can they go?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Montgomery County - South Division: End-Of-Season Standings Predictions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 1 - John F. Kennedy Cavaliers (Finished #2 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 2 - Blair Blazers (Finished #1 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 3 - Wheaton Knights (Finished #3 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 4 - Northwood Gladiators (Finished #4 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 5 - Einstein Titans (Finished #5 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>JFK has the potential to overtake MoCo South this season behind the rapid progression of their main players. They rallied on to earn second place behind a tough Blair squad. My pick is that Blair finally loses their consistent #1 pace this season to a hungry Cavs squad. These two teams will challenge the upper-echelon of the County as a whole, looking to test their strength against the best in Montgomery County. If you're a recruiter looking for some solid DII and LM DI's than keep close tabs on the Cavs and Blazers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Montgomery County - North Division: End-Of-Season Standings Predictions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 1 - Poolesville Falcons (Finished #1 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 2 - Magruder Colonels (Finished #2 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 3 - Damascus Hornets (Finished #4 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 4 - Rockville Rams (Finished #5 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No. 5 - Watkins Mill Wolverines (Finished #3 last season)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lot of movement within the division so I expect things to shake up a little bit compared to last year. I believe Damascus has the most range as far as where they can end up depending on their level of execution within the North. While this may not be as talented a division as the East or the Central, but they could end up being just as competitive by the end of the year. I expect Poolesville and Magruder will reign atop the division as they did last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
