Agree... and I think South County should slot in somewhere in the 12-15 range, not a bubble school... they would be all over some of the lower ranked schools.
IDK how they would match up with the privates or MD publics, but I would take both Stone Bridge and SoCo over Tuscarora, who is 6-0 but with no impressive wins. I understand why the undefeated teams gets ranked though. SoCo did look seriously overmatched against Quince Orchard and that is tough to overcome.
I don't think the WCAC is as good as it was five years ago. They have fared poorly in their big out-of-area games recently and seem be lacking offensively.

Stone Bridge was seconds away from winning at QO earlier this fall. I promised my friend I would get to a SoCo game this season to see his son play but haven't made it yet. Not sure where to put them based on their games with QO and Madison. I was at Wise when they played Maury and they look good too. I haven't seen Flowers or North Point this year, but they usually reload every year. I did hear good things about North Point before the season, but they won't really be tested until the playoffs. MacNamara at 6-0 is a surprise to me and I'm really interested to see how they do against the usual heavyweights of the WCAC. I'll take Good Counsel over DeMatha this weekend and I see them taking the WCAC title this year, but there seems to be at least one surprise each year in the WCAC playoffs.
They are a pretty good team. Highland Springs should be fine though. I’ve got HS by 21+ in this one.
Thank u! Really couldn’t find squat on them other than MaxPreps garbage
to the contrary I think the issue is they don't play each other enough. They do in hoops but need to have more pub/private football games.
Stop the reclassifying and maybe the public schools will play the private schools, or only allow four years of high school sports. There’s no reason whatsoever for a 19-year-old man to be on the field with a 14-year-old Freshman
