Germantown Academy Patriots
The Patriots opened with a high-scoring loss, posting 32 points but surrendering 43. Their offense showed explosiveness but will need to tighten up defensively against a Father Judge squad that can put up points quickly. Key contributors are expected to come from their versatile skill positions, with balanced production in the backfield and receiving corps.
