There’s a stubborn myth about this series: that because Quince Orchard has owned the win column, every regular-season meeting since 2014 and 13 of the last 15 overall, the Cougars simply roll through the Jaguars. Anyone who’s watched even one of these games knows the truth: history sits on the scoreboard, but the drama lives on the field. QO may more often leave with the W, but rarely without a fight. Last year’s game, a Northwest comeback that pulled within 15 yards of a tying score in the closing minutes, was the clearest reminder that these two teams bring out something different in each other. Expect more of the same Friday night in the Cougar Dome.
Montgomery County will hold a Spanish-language Community Conversation about the Fiscal Year 2027 operating budget on Monday, Oct. 27, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Gaithersburg High School, 101 Education Blvd. in Gaithersburg.
