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.
Bocce matches that were cancelled this week may be rescheduled for Friday, January 30 (local school athletic directors can coordinate all aspects, pending availability of officials and confirmation from Patrick Calvin). Note that results for matches played on Friday will not count towards seeding for the division tournaments on Saturday.

Beautiful sunset game tonight with the Cavs and the Knights. 1 Goal made by Portillo #13.

On September 25, the Albert Einstein Titans faced the Wheaton Knights in an intense DCC rival match that ended in a 5-1 defeat. The rivalry match started with high Wheaton momentum and kept the game onto Einstein’s side of the field. Five minutes in the first half, It wouldn’t take much longer for the first goal to be scored, scored by #9 Juliana Vega from a crossed pass and putting in the easy tap in, bringing the score to 1-0 with a Knights lead. Wheaton would add two more goals within 10 minutes of the first half, with a rebound shot from #5 Adrianna Rodriguez and save that bounced off the Titan’s Keeper hand and went to the right side of the net, scored by #3 Emma Torres. Wheaton had full momentum on a strong 3-0 lead over the Titans. Einstein couldn’t hold offensive possession, as Wheaton’s tactics focused on constantly pressuring the Titans and playing much more forward when maintaining possession, all gas no breaks. No big chances were created for the Titans, having 0 shots on target with 17 minutes remaining in the first. The deficit increased for the Titans, with a quick attack from a drawn foul from the Titans and a perfect lobbed pass for the Knights and scored by #3 Torres who chipped it over goalkeeper Maya Garnett. Wheaton looked to control the entire first half of the game, creating multiple key passes and showing a “tiki taka” presence. Wheaton walks away with a dominating 4-0 lead over Einstein at the end of the first half. The second half started with a goal keeper change for the Titans, putting in goalkeeper Addie Burkes. Einstein would reduce the deficit with the Titan’s first goal of the game, scored by #8 Angie Vojvodic. Vojvodic headed the ball in from a corner cross and brought the score to 4-1. Einstein started to show signs of possession for the first time of the game 10 minutes in the second half, improving much better than their performance in the first half but must show more shots on target to start comeback hopes. Two yellow cards were given to the Titans after strong collisions caused by #9 Annabelle O’Connor and captain #8 Angie Vojvodic. Wheaton started to increase their aggression once again, creating multiple big chances in Einstein territory. Einstein started to become too aggressive when defending, with two fouls that could’ve been yellow cards from purposeful pushing from the Titans. Wheaton seemingly put this game to rest with a tap in goal from #3 Torres, securing the hat-trick and bringing the game to 5-1. Time drained out in the game as Wheaton came out victorious with a 5-1 crushing win over the Titans. Torres secured player of the night with a total of 3 goals. Einstein will move down to 3-2 and will face Blair on the road. Wheaton will move up to 3-3 and will face Rockville at home.
