After just 4 weeks of play this is the weakest 2A West in memory.
Every team below DM is projected to lose this week and/or at least another game? It is possible to be 2nd in this region with a 5-4 or 6-3 record? Very likely only 2 teams with a wining record in this region come season end. Typically this division is complaining about an 8-2 or 7-3 and finishing 5th (back when 10 games) and would miss playoffs. Even DM at the top is not one of their better teams.
2A West
1. Damascus 3-1 25pts
2. Walkersville 2-2 15pts *More Bonus Points than Glenelg*
3. Glenelg 2-2 15pts
4. Wilde Lake 1-3 7pts
5. Centennial 0-3 0pts *Fewest points allowed*
6. Poolesville 0-4 0pts
7. Hammond 0-4 0pts

Hammond 0-4 0pts Wow, thanks for posting. I guess this good news for your Lions. As long as they stay ahead of Wilde Lake they will land in the 2 or 3 seed. That means they avoid DM and almost certainly make the reseed—I am not a believer in Glenelg at all. The bad thing is that at 4-5 or 5-4 they will almost certainly be (once again) the #8 seed. Hopefully someone on the Eastern shore will go 9-0 and WHS can avoid returning to Millford Mill. Currently, KI, SD, and NC are all 4-0. They all play each other in the coming weeks. My prediction is that SD goes 9-0

My prediction is that SD goes 9-0 Know what else is nuts... the 2AW typically included Middletown, Liberty and Oakland Mills. They are all having down years too! The what if Walkersville over Westminster gets bigger and bigger with playoff reseed. I know a win against Tusca or TJ is not a lot of points but it is better than a loss to Westminster.

And that game easily could have (should have?) been a win.

Neutral Observer where are you when I need you?!
Another week and still the weird unknown continues. Every team still has a probable (at least good potential) loss on the schedule.
1. Damascus 4-2 38 pts; remaining – Clarksburg, SV, Wooton _ top end 7-2 #1, but if 6-3 and Glenelg 7-2 ?
2. Glenelg 4-2 32 pts; remaining – Howard, River Hill, Marriotts Ridge _ top end 7-2 but will Howard and RH get it together 5-4
3. Walkersville 3-3 27 pts; remaining - Oakdale, Catoctin, Middletown _ top end 5-4 but does this hold #3 or #4 or even a #2
4. Wilde Lake 3-3 24 pts; remaining – Reservoir, Oakland, Long Reach _ top end 6-3 (they are treading up), with big pts for a Reservoir win. Wild Lake is the wild card right now. they could end up anywhere from #2 -4
---------------------------------- Sorry, doesn’t matter
5. Poolesville 0-6 0 pts 6. Centennial 0-6 0 pts 7. Hammond 0-6 0 pts

Hammond 0-6 0 pts Very interesting. Could very well see Dmass Walkersville in the second round despite them being the best two teams in the 2A West. The Lions scrimmaged WL and killed them. As a general rule, I do not think highly of HoCo teams.

Maybe someone can explain to me Howard County scheduling since Glenelg & Wild Lake dont play. Teams in same county (10 miles apart), same league, class and region do not play each other in the Folly Quarter Bowl each year? I don't care what you call it.

Having ssen Dmass and WHS, I think WHS is more physical and more athletic. I am not sold on their QB play, I do think with both teams at full strength, that WHS has the slight edge. I have not seen Glenelg, so they are a wildcard to me. I agree that Hoco is generally not on par with DHS/FredCo - I think WHS could make a deep run if they stay healthy and stop turning the ball over.

I heard Dmass got RB Cooley back. Don’t sleep on him Walkersville. He’s an amazing RB. Also be aware of 12 men scores. Loll

You guys are jumping the gun and counting chickens before the cart ... Walkersville needs to get here act together in more ways then just stop fumbling. In addition to the unsettled QB situation, the defense was not able to make stops with any consistency against Ling, Fred, or West. This causes me great concern!

But, Milford Mill and Decatur might be the only teams in the 2A who are on the same level as Linganore and Frederick.

I don't care what you call it. they have 12 HS so you get to play 9 of the 12. Glenelg has two closer rivals in MR and RH plus they play Howard in the Elgard game so that leaves 6 of the other 8 to play. WL has many more natural rivalries in Columbia and RH

I figured that Howard County would prioritize region matchups.

My best guess at final standings is.......
1. Damascus 6-3 7.3 2. Walkersville 5-4 5.5 3. Wilde Lake 5-4 5.4 4. Glenelg 5-4 5.1 5. Poolesville 1-8 1.0 6. Hammond 0-9 0.0 7. Centennial 0-9 0.0
Would set up the following Week 10 games Damascus BYE Centennial AT Walkersville Hammond AT Wilde Lake Poolesville AT Glenelg
Then the likely Week 11 games Wilde Lake AT Walkersville Glenelg AT Damascus
Massey makes the home teams heavy favorites in Week 11
