Harris said John Carroll had agreed to forfeit the game to Northwood, but William “Duke” Beattie, the county’s system-wide athletic director, said it will stand as a no-contest. Teams in Maryland are not penalized in the playoff standings for not playing a full 10-game schedule as the rankings are determined by dividing total points accumulated by the number of games played. The Gladiators entered the week 11th in the 13-team Maryland 3A West region.
Harris said the team practiced four days last week and began watching film on Einstein, its opponent this week. John Carroll’s scheduled home league game against Boys Latin was postponed on Friday and was to be played Monday night.

“We tried to get back to the basics of football,” Harris said. “We’ve been right in a couple games but just come up a touchdown short right at the end. We wanted to work on some things that will hopefully get us better prepared for the last two games.” . . .
Wheaton knocked off Poolesville, 33-20, on Thursday in a matchup of the county’s lone Maryland 2A teams. Senior Travon Barber had a receiving touchdown and a kick return score to lift the Knights (4-4) past the Falcons (5-3) and into contention for its first playoff berth since 1996.
