SMAC Football Top 5 — Week 4
1. Westlake (4-0, 2-0)
Previous ranking: 1
Devon Smith scored three touchdowns and Terance Proctor two, as the Wolverines rolled to a 50-6 win over Great Mills. While Westlake has rolled thus far, outscoring its opponents 187-41, this week should provide the stiffest test when the Wolverines travel to North Point and battle the stingiest defense they will have encountered this season.
This week: at North Point, Friday at 7 p.m.
2. Lackey (3-1, 2-0)
Previous ranking: 2
Through three weeks, the Chargers had been living on the exploits of its dominating defense. The offense finally started to get in on the act last Friday in a 34-7 win over Northern, producing all five of Lackey’s touchdowns. This week the Chargers are at McDonough, which nearly pulled off an upset of Friendly last week.
This week: at McDonough, Friday at 7 p.m.
3. Patuxent (3-1, 2-0)
Previous ranking: 3
Running back Ra’Joun Nelson was back to carrying a full load following an injury in the opener, and four different Panthers reached the end zone in a 34-14 win over a Leonardtown team that just wouldn’t go away on Friday. This week, Calvert County supremacy is on the line when the Panthers host Huntingtown.
This week: vs. Huntingtown, Friday at 7 p.m.
4. North Point (3-1, 3-0)
Previous ranking: NR
The Eagles racked up possibly the biggest win in the program’s short history with Friday night’s 20-14 win over the then-unbeaten Huntingtown Hurricanes. Arlando Scott rushed for three touchdowns in the win, while the Eagles defense allowed Huntingtown’s prolific offense just one scoring drive. North Point hosts Westlake on Friday, and will be looking to slow the Wolverines’ explosive running game down.
This week: vs. Westlake, Friday at 7 p.m.
5. Huntingtown (3-1, 2-1)
Previous ranking: 4
Huntingtown, in the midst of its toughest two-game stretch on the schedule, will attempt to rebound from last week’s shortcoming at North Point against county rival Patuxent.
This week: at Patuxent, Friday at 7 p.m.
