Football Top-10: Week 5

WCAC Football Top-10

1. Good Counsel, 5-0, LW 1
The Falcons two-headed monster, Caleb Porzel and Jelani Jenkins, set DeMatha back early, making a statement that they are the clear favorite now.
Next: Friday vs. Bishop O’Connell, 7

2. DeMatha, 3-2, LW 2
The Stags played Good Counsel pretty even in the second half, showing that they could make changes and hang with the Falcons.
Next: Friday vs. Paul VI, 7

3. St. John’s, 4-1, LW 3
The Cadets pulled out yet another close win, beating O’Connell in overtime. The offense still struggled for much of the game but Ed Thomas showed he can throw the ball to beat teams, which will be very important as the season goes on.
Next: Saturday at Archbishop Carroll, 2

4. O’Connell, 4-1, LW 4
The Knights took their first loss of the season but certainly had chances to win Saturday’s game. They nearly pulled it off without running back Justin Trimble.
Next: Saturday at Good Counsel, 7

5. McNamara, 3-2, LW 5
The Mustangs needed to beat Paul VI and they did – barely. Kevin Clark orchestrated a clutch drive as the Mustangs stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Next: Saturday vs. Gonzaga, 2

6. Paul VI, 2-3, LW 6
The Panthers were in position to knock off a very good McNamara team. They just need to finish games off and watch out for the hook-and-ladder.
Next: Friday at DeMatha, 7

7. Gonzaga, LW 7
Gonzaga got its first win of the season against Carroll but things get tougher against McNamara this week. Can last week’s win jumpstart a turnaround?
Next: Saturday at McNamara, 2

8. Bishop Ireton, LW 8
The Cardinals snapped a four-game losing streak against St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes.
Next: Saturday vs. St. Christopher’s, 1

9. Archbishop Carroll, LT 9
The Lions had a chance for their first WCAC win and took an early lead but couldn’t hold on.
Next: Saturday vs. St. John’s, 2

10. St. Mary’s Ryken, LT 10
Things aren’t pretty down in Leonardtown, but what can you expect?
Next: Saturday at Riverdale Baptist, 2
