ESPN's 150 Football Recruits for the Class of 2009: http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/espn150?season=2009&display=all&set=0&action=upsell&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fncf%2frecruiting%2ftracker%2fespn150%3fseason%3d2009%26display%3dall%26set%3d0
The local products include:
9. Jelani Jenkins OLB 6'1" 210 MD 86 None
We all know about Jenkins. The question is where is he going? A complete guess would be the University of Miami. Or Notre Dame. Look out for West Virginia though.
59. Darrell Givens CB 6'1" 170 MD 82 Penn State
Recruiters love a 6-foot-1 corner with speed. He's got NFL potential, but there's still a long way to go. Like helping Indian River dominate.
124. Bryn Renner QB 6'3" 190 VA 81 North Carolina
West Springfield's Renner is a machine. He excelled in year one at QB, led the Metro area in points scored in basketball and had an offer from UNC to play baseball. As a coach's son, Renner will be one of those special players. Plus his sister is a dancer at Florida State, and frankly, that wins cool points on every level.

Noon — ESPN Rise Regional Rankings
ESPN Breaks Down the Top-20 Schools in Four Regions: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=3523581&campaign=rsssrch&source=espn
No surprise that Don Bosco Prep is atop the East rankings.
The Metro Mayhem area schools, with location and hometown include:
5. Quince Orchard (Gaithersburg, Md.) 14-0
This team is dirty. And there's no reason they should lose again in 2008. *Nugget: No Maryland team has gone 14-0 in back-to-back seasons since Seneca Valley in 1997-1998.
7. DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) 10-2
The Stags lost 13 Division I signees from last season, but still have starting quarter Tommy Chroniger. They reload.
9. West Springfield (Springfield, Va.) 10-3
West Springfield will be good, but they are no show-in for the Northern Region title. If they don't have Bryn Renner, they aren't even sniffing the top-50, much less the top-20.
13. Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) 10-2
Jelani Jenkins will have to carry to team, which only returns 12 starters. They did beat DeMatha last season.
18. Stone Bridge (Ashburn, Va.) 14-1
Stone Bridge is overrated, mostly because they play in the Division 5 playoffs, and not against the big dogs. They'll still miss Jeron Gouveia.
By the way, the East represents Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.

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.
