DCSportsfan.com highlights the Interstate Athletic Conference football slate.
Episcopal loses its quarterback, who is now playing lacrosse at West Point, and St. Stephen's and St. Agnes will be without its star pint-sized running back Isaiah Carpenter who graduated.
Out of the conference, SSSAS will try to avenge a home loss to Bishop Ireton last season, though I don't see that happening. The Nov. 8 game between Episcopal and Woodberry Forest is one of the most fun high school football rivalries there is. In the entire country.
In the conference, Landon and St. Albans should both be strong, and they meet on Sept. 27, which could decide the league championship. But SSSAS, who went to the state semifinals last year might have a say.

10 A.M. — Top Five WCAC Games
DCSportsFan.com on the Top-Five WCAC Games of the Season: http://www.dcsportsfan.com/article.aspx?aid=2138
A brief, but informative article about the author's opinion on the WCAC's top games.
He lists them (in chronological order):
1. Bishop Ireton at Archbishop Carroll
Ireton lost almost everyone to graduation, but it won't lose to Carroll. If Ireton does go down, it should stick its tail between its legs.
2. Bishop O'Connell at Paul VI
O'Connell thinks they'll have a stronger team, but in a rivalry game, you never know. If we had to pick, we'll go with the coach's son and O'Connell.
3. St. John's at Good Counsel
In a nutshell, don't make a really good Good Counsel team mad. St. John's won't be able to overcome the 44-6 tongue lashing they took in the playoffs last year.
4. Gonzaga at Bishop McNamara
The game will be close, but if we had to choose today, Metro goes with Gonzaga. Call it a gut feeling.
5. DeMatha at Good Counsel (ESPN2)
This is the Game of the Year in the area, and ESPN knows it. There will be almost 10 possible Division I recruits on the field. When in doubt, go with the home team. Good Counsel in a shootout.
