Koa Sports is spotlighting the top senior field hockey players from Montgomery County Public Schools. Players will be split into two teams and compete in a celebratory all-star game. Seniors are nominated by their high school coach based on the following criteria: team players, talent, and working hard both on and off the field.
Koa Sports is sponsoring this event (2nd annual) and incurring all costs including field, officials, food, shirts, etc… to celebrate these seniors. Koa’s goal is to increase field hockey awareness and participation in Montgomery County. While there are All Star Games in MoCo for other sports (such as lacrosse & basketball) field hockey has never been represented. All are welcome to attend the free event and watch these talented players compete one final time in their high school uniforms. Event Details:
We are about a month into fall and the colors around us are changing. Whether it’s the taste of a warm pumpkin-flavored latte, the cool breeze of a crisp fall morning, weekends full of football, or the yellow glow of the sun on a tall birch tree, autumn is often a contender for MoCo residents’ favorite season (however short it may be). Many locals are looking forward to combining all the best parts of fall and enjoying the foliage outdoors, so we’ve put together a small list of 10 where you can enjoy the foliage across the county:
Agricultural Reserve: A drive through the rural areas that the 93,000 acre Agricultural Reserve encompasses, along with the larger rural communities of Damascus and Poolesville and small crossroad communities such as Beallsville, Sunshine and Dickerson, are sure to give you your fill of fall foliage.

The schedule of events for Remembrance and Reconciliation Month:
Freshman Joshua Pitsenberger leads the team in rushing through 5 games this season and had a memorable Ivy League debut last month, scoring three touchdowns and rushing for a team-high 93 yards to help lead the Yale football team to a convincing 38-14 victory over Cornell in his first Ivy League football game at Yale. Two days later, he earned his first lvy accolade by being named the league’s Rookie of the Week in late September.
By the end of the first quarter of his first Ivy League football game (against Cornell), Pitsenberger had already scored two touchdowns. The first was a 5 yard receiving touchdown from a shuffle pass on Yale’s opening drive. The second came on a 1-yard run that gave Yale the first of 31 consecutive points. Pitsenberger added another 1-yard scoring run with 39 seconds remaining in the second quarter. In his first college game ever, the previous week against Holy Cross, Pitsenberger carried 9 times for 50 yards in a 38-14 to the now 6-0 Holy Cross Crusaders.
1. Quince Orchard 7-0 (LW 1): The Cougars are now the lone undefeated team in the county with their victory over Gaithersburg 48-8. As a team QO rushed for 212 yards and 4 TDs. Up next, the biggest rivalry in the DMV vs a resurgent Northwest, in the MoCoShow Game of the Week.
2. Damascus 6-1 (LW 3): The Swarmin’ Hornets beatdown Rockville 49-6. A trip to Silver Spring to take on Springbrook is next.
For 17 months, Councilmembers have been working with staff and listening to suggestions from residents across Montgomery County to develop a general plan for the County’s future. The Thrive Montgomery 2050 Draft Plan contains the text and supporting maps for a comprehensive amendment to Montgomery County’s current General Plan (On Wedges and Corridors).
The document establishes a vision for Montgomery County’s future growth and encompasses broad, countywide policy recommendations for land use, zoning, housing, the economy, equity, transportation, parks and open space, the environment and historic resources.
The Washington Wizards Book of the Month programwill feature one book for readers grades K-2, one book for readers grades 3-5 and one book for readers grades 6-8 to explore each month. The books will be great for kids to read alone or for families to read together.
Montgomery County joined this program on Oct. 1. MCPL’s October selections can be found at Montgomery (dcfamily.com).
