Wrong score: Correct Score: Poolesville 53 Magruder 28

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.

Clarksburg girls’ basketball junior Destiny Turner reached the career milestone of 1,000 points in less than three seasons. Together with her sisters Trinity and London, Turner helped propel the Coyotes to a 2024 state title as a freshman. In the championship game, Turner posted a 13-point, 13-rebound double-double. This season, Turner is stuffing the stat sheet. Across seven games played, she’s averaging 17.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 steals and 3.3 assists per game. Her team currently sits in fourth place in the Montgomery County standings with a 10-2 record. Look to see Turner to continue make a substantial impact as the postseason approaches and Clarksburg searches for another state title.

After a tough loss of 32-59 versus the Rockets of Richard Montgomery, the Magruder Colonels look to run it back in a division game versus the Watkins Mill Wolverines TONIGHT. The Colonels are currently third in their division, with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. With 4 games left in the season, the Colonels look to grab their 4th win of the season. The last time these two faced off, Magruder came out on top in a 30-22 win at the home of the Wolverines. The Colonels are looking to do the same as the WM Wolverines are currently on a 3 game losing streak. Will the Colonels take the dub again, or will the Wolverines get their payback? We’ll see tonight @ Watkins Mills High School at 7:15 PM.
