2019 Football Schedules

MD should get the harder opponent they are back to back National Champs. They have the most coming back and the addition to their transfers MD will be in consideration for a 3-peat.

good point.

I had SJB running away with it until I saw what MD was bringing in.

Bosco won't play IMG because of they basically compete for the same kids. So i understand why they don't want to play them.

Even if they wanted to, they can't. CIF State passed a rule where you can't play a school that doesn't qualify for their Section/State Championship, i.e. IMG, DeMatha (used to have rivalry w/MD basketball stemming back to 1983)...

MD's four transfers, a kicker, a nose guard, an O-lineman and a 10th grade receiver, hardly qualifies as a talent dump at Bristol and Edinger....

DeMatha plays in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference. That qualifies them to play SJB.

I'm not understanding

My mistake, I meant Oak Hill, which in fact is nowhere close to DeMatha, but the example still applies...

was this a rule that just passed this off season?

[daddyooo]

yes-2019-20 is the first year this is in effect.

Which is what mystifies me about MD's game with St Frances. From what I can see, SF doesn't participate in Maryland's state playoffs, either; just like IMG. What gives?

[OutOfState]

St Frances does participate. The deal with them is that every team in their league refused to play them. They were also crowned the Maryland champions by default for whatever section they are in.

That's bizarre. Thanks for the explanation.
