Edges highly anticipated Quince Orchard-Sherwood matchup.

In the inaugural Patch Montgomery County Football Game of the Week Poll, a surprising upstart edged out two of the county's elite programs to be selected as the Week 1 Game of the Week Friday night.  With 46 percent of the vote, Watkins Mill-Poolesville knocked off Quince Orchard-Sherwood (26 percent) and the rest of the county to be nominated as GOTW.

SPEAK OUT: Cracking Down on Concussions in School Sports

Should the state pass stricter requirements when it comes to regulating and treating student athlete concussions?

Sports practices for public schools in Prince George's and Montgomery counties start up soon—but new state regulations may mean changes for athletes and coaches.  The state school board passed new requirements last week that say athletic coaches in Maryland must be trained in identifying serious head injuries, The Baltimore Sun reports. Thomas Hearn, a Montgomery County parent, spoke to the state school board in May after his son sustained a concussion, and pushed for members to consider limiting the number of contact practices in a week, The Sun reported. Hearn also plans to continue pursuing even stricter requirements than those passed by the state from Montgomery County’s school board, according to The Sun.  Earl Hawkins, the director …

It does vary by sport. Football - they definitely need to regulate it in the schools and at all levels both in school and on club teams. They should do the same for soccer at the HS level. At the HS level, they should have trainers. My oldest had a trainer at St. Mary's and South River is getting a trainer this year.. Once the kids reach a certain level in soccer, it becomes progressively more …   more ›

POLLS: How Will the Redskins Fare This Season?

Training camp for Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins opened Thursday in Ashburn, VA.

The Washington Redskins opened arguably the most anticipated training camp in the Dan Snyder era Thursday with fans awash in excitement for the official debut of new franchise quarterback Robert Griffin III.  As The Washington Post's Jason Reid put it: Forget about the [Redskins’] past two disappointing seasons under Coach Mike Shanahan. Never utter John Beck’s name again. The Redskins got a sorely needed fresh start when they drafted rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, and this season his development is all that matters. As important as Griffin's development may be, fans still want to see the team win, and do so sooner than later. Is the No. 2 overall draft pick's presence enough to help the team improve on its 5-11 record from a …
