1. (LW 1) Quince Orchard 3-0: The Cougars needed a last second comeback to defeat Stone Bridge, VA 29-22 in a highly entertaining game. Quarterback Nino Marzullo had 187 total yards and 2 touchdowns in the victory. Up next a road trip to Potomac to take on Churchill in the MoCoShow Game of the Week!

2. (LW 2) Northwest 3-0: The Jaguars defeated Richard Montgomery 52-29. As a team, Northwest ran for 232 yards and 3 touchdowns. This Friday, the Jags travel down the road to take on Germantown rival Seneca Valley in the Battle for the King’s Trophy.


Gaithersburg Mayor Jud Ashman tweeted a new video of the young man who was seen being attacked in a viral video from earlier this month– this video showed the Quince Orchard High School student running out with the football team ahead of its Thursday night game, holding a banner with the message ‘forgive’ written on it. The video and a photo tweeted by Quince Orchard High School principal Beth Thomas can be seen below.

The father of the student who was attacked in the original video spoke out in an interview with FOX5’s Shomari Stone. The victim’s father told FOX 5 that he believes his son was targeted. He says his son is on the autism spectrum. “I’m obviously distraught, especially after seeing the video, or videos that have been, I guess leaked or put on social media. It hurts to see your child hit numerous times by a bully.” he said.


Below you’ll see the most recent updates or final scores of the 2023 week 3 MCPS football games. The scores will be updated as we receive them. If a score isn’t listed, it’s because we haven’t yet received a report from the game that we can confirm. An ‘F’ signifies the score is confirmed as being final.


On Sept. 12, the kickoff meeting for this year’s Student-Athlete Leadership Council (SALC) was held at Carver Educational Services Center in Rockville. The council is made up of two students from each MCPS high school and seven at-large members, who meet bi-monthly to share ideas on the interscholastic athletics program. Launched in 2018, SALC cultivates academic, athletic and community excellence by engaging student-athletes to serve as district level leaders within the MCPS athletics program.

The SALC planning committee includes athletics specialists Dessalyn Dillard, Paint Branch High School; Gina Grubb, Poolesville High School; Jermaine Howell, Albert Einstein High School; Larry Hurd, Jr. Walter Johnson High School; Tom McTighe, Wheaton High School and Jody Tyler, Northwest High School, along with Robin McCue, administrative assistant for the athletics office.


Richard Montgomery at Northwest: WJ showed that RM’s defense isn’t going to hang with the big dogs. Fresh off boatracing Damascus, Northwest’s athletes should terrorize the Rockets. Northwest 45

Gaithersburg at Watkins Mill: Getting blown out by QO is tuff but at this point not indicative of much other than you’re not winning the 4A title. WM will be a good bounceback opportunity for the Trojans. Gaithersburg by 44


Alright, let’s do this one last time… -Peter B. Parker

In Week 1, Quince Orchard proved that they belong with the best of the best in Virginia by thrashing a very good South County team 33-0. While South County is very good, though, I’m not sure I would put them on that upper echelon of VA HS teams. Stone Bridge, on the other hand, has historically been a part of that top echelon. Can they give QO a challenge?
