As we hit the midway point of the MCPS high school football season, Montgomery County’s standout players and teams have begun to separate themselves from the pack. From dynamic quarterbacks lighting up the passing game to workhorse running backs carrying their teams, here’s a breakdown of the county’s statistical leaders through four weeks of action (does not include week 5 stats from this week), based on data submitted by MCPS coaches:
