Westminster at Rockville (3A West Region): A respectable season for Rockville Head Coach Kallay and his Rams has positioned them well for a solid playoff opener. Their highlight is a hard-fought win over Springbrook and a close game with powerhouse Damascus. Westminster’s season has been similarly mixed, with victories against Walkersville and a narrow loss to Frederick but some letdowns along the way. This Westminster squad has traditionally struggled in the playoffs, even in stronger seasons, which gives Rockville the edge, especially at home. Prediction: Rockville 28, Westminster 21
Thomas Johnson at Wootton (4A/3A West Region): It’s déjà vu for the Thomas Johnson and Wootton Patriots as they meet in the first round for the second year running. Last season’s clash was a thrilling affair, with Wootton advancing thanks to a dramatic blocked kick return. This year, expect another nail-biter. While TJ ranks lower in Frederick County, their ability to hang tough with mid-level Montgomery County teams, like Whitman, shows promise. Meanwhile, Wootton has struggled lately, surrendering 53 points to Damascus recently. TJ is hungry for revenge, and they may just get it. Prediction: Thomas Johnson 27, Wootton 14
