Four schools hope to clinch playoff berths on final day of regular season FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK BY PRINCE J. GRIMES
4A South Eleanor Roosevelt was already in the postseason prior to last weekend, but clinched home field throughout the region playoffs with its win against Laurel. Henry A. Wise also clinched its playoff berth prior to last weekend.
DuVal joins them following a definitive win against Charles H. Flowers on Saturday. Even if forced to forfeit a win by Prince George’s County Public Schools for an alleged open-gym violation, a case which is still under appeal, DuVal is assured of a postseason berth. Thanks to the Flowers loss, Suitland is control of the fourth and final playoff spot. If the Rams defeat High Point on Friday and Flowers loses to second-place Wise, Suitland is in. If Suitland loses to High Point, a Flowers
loss to Wise would still likely put Suitland into the playoffs. For Flowers, a win against Wise on Saturday moves the Jaguars ahead of Suitland in points, but if DuVal does have to forfeit its first win of the season to Parkdale, there’s a scenario where Suitland (who beat Parkdale) can still finish ahead of Flowers. Northwestern still has a chance to sneak into the postseason. The Wildcats would have to defeat Eleanor Roosevelt on Saturday and get a lot of help elsewhere. In addition to a win,
Northwestern would need Wise to beat Flowers, High Point to beat Suitland, and Bladensburg to defeat Bowie. Bowie and Oxon Hill were officially eliminated following last week’s games.
2A South Frederick Douglass officially clinched home field in the 2A South Region with its win against Central. The Eagles will have home field through the state
championship game with a victory against Surrattsville this week.
1A North Forestville Military Academy is already in the postseason but needs to defeat Potomac in addition to a Friendship Academy of Engineering and Technology (80) loss to Bluford Drew Jemison Academy (3-6) in order to clinch home field. If FAET wins, Forestville will still have more points, but the outcome of other games will decide the top seed. Surrattsville clinched a playoff berth thanks to its win against Friendly and losses by Fairmont Heights and McDonough. Even though Fairmont loss to Gwynn Park, the Hornets are still sitting in the fourth and final playoff spot. If Fairmont defeats Crossland on Saturday it clinches its first postseason berth since 1998. With a loss, Fairmont would need McDonough (4-5) to lose to St. Charles (0-9).

The high school football regular season is winding down to its final weekend, and the playoff picture is becoming clear after last week’s games. Four Prince George’s County teams were officially eliminated from postseason contention, while three more clinched playoff berths — bringing the total number of county teams in the playoffs to seven. Four county teams are still alive however, with one in control of its destiny. Home-field advantage is in play for two teams.
With that, Modeste said she’s felt more pressure to perform and Andrulonis admitted her distance results — she will also be needed in the 800-meter run — should be the cornerstone of the Bulldogs’ track success. But Modeste, who Andrulonis said is a quiet leader andexcellentrolemodelforyoung Bowie athletes looking to get more serious about cross country, said she is motivated to produce positive results for her team. A county win proved to Modeste, she said, that she does belongwiththearea’stoprunners. Though she was disappointed in the regional result, Modeste said she learned from the experience going into states. “[Regionals] taught me that it’s not going to be easy,” Modeste said. “Things are going to happen, it’s not always going to be the way you want it to go. You’ve just got to stay focused, anything can happen.” jbeekman@gazette.net
