Heading into the final month of the regular season, Montgomery County has five schools that have reached double-digit win titans, while Whitman remains undefeated at 11-0. Fresh off a week off from last week’s snowstorm, high-stakes games are starting as early as today. Beyond top-tier games, multiple teams are vying for the county’s top spot. Here are the most important storylines that are emerging from Montgomery County Girls Varsity Basketball: 1. The county’s top tier teams are playing other top tier teams. On Monday, the first day back, 9-5 Walter Johnson will travel to face 11-1 Churchill, while 9-3 Wootton will host the Whitman Vikings, looking to give the team their first loss. Also this week, Magruder will travel to Sherwood, Clarksburg will face Poolesville, Walter Johnson will go to Quince Orchard, and Wootton will face Churchill. With that said, the undisputable game of the month will happen this Wednesday, as the county’s top teams, the 11-1 Bulldogs will face off against the 11-0 Vikings. The winner is set to take the MoCo lead. 2. While the top teams will play the top teams, programs on the other end of the standings will also face off against each other. The 1-10-1 Wheaton Knights will face off against a 1-11 Northwood squad on Monday evening. Northwood will then travel to take on the 3-9 Blair Blazers while Seneca Valley faces Watkins Mill. These are just a few of the games that the bottom county teams are set to face, all of which will happen in the first week back. 3. The Einstein Titans have been killing their divisional opponents. Throughout the season, five of eight of their wins came against in-region rivals. Out of their final eight games, six will be against their regional opponents, with the other two coming against Watkins Mill and Wootton in two of the final three weeks of the season. Despite dropping three of their last five, the Titans have a great opportunity to rise up the county standings. 4. Wootton’s final eight opponents looks to cause several problems. Each of their next four games will come against teams with winning records, including 11-0 Whitman, 7-6 Bethesda-Chevy Chase, 11-1 Churchill, and 7-4 Quince Orchard. Then, after games against Northwest and Blake, the Patriots will finish their season on the road against 9-5 Walter Johnson and at home against 8-4 Einstein. As the team looks to get to double-digit wins, these final eight games may keep them from getting beyond eleven, but taking two to three of the six should be considered a win for Wootton.

The Springbrook devils upset the Einstein Titans in a 48-31 loss. The Devils came into Kensington and crushed the number one seed Titans in a very strong offensive performance. At the start of the first quarter, Springrbrook was in the zone in three pointers with number 4 from Springbrook hitting three 3-pointers alone racking a total of 11 points in the first quarter. The Titans couldn’t achieve much due to Springrbook's strong double coverage on the Einstein players, resulting with Einstein only scoring 2 points with the quarter ending 2-21 with Springbrook leading. Entering the 2nd quarter, some signs of life were seen from the Titans, with the score up to 10-21. This would later be shut down by springbrook, blocking multiple of Einstein’s shots and intercepting the ball several times. The first half ended 10 - 30 in favor of Springbrook. The second half continued with several mistakes being performed by Einstein, continuously passing the ball inaccurately and missing several free throws. It was visible that the Springbrook crowd had overtaken the Einstein Gymnasium, yelling frequently while the titans were at the free throw line. The quarter ended 14-38 with Springbrook strong at half. The last quarter started with Springbrook playing more stronger in making sure Stein had no hope of coming back. Springbrook put their substitute players in as Einstein started to finally get on scoring points. The Titan’s hit three straight 3 pointers and some nice layups, but was too late as it was primarily scored in “Garbage Time” with 3 minutes remaining and with Springbrook up more than 10+ points. The game ended with Einstein losing 31-48 at home, a crushing defeat after receiving a bye week. As the Titan’s season came to an end, the Springbrook devils will be facing Richard Montgomery in the North ll regional finals.
