Softball Top 10: Bishop O'Connell, Woodgrove start a new season on top
The start of a new season is often the most hectic time of year for the area's top softball programs. Starting in mid-March, the first chunk of the season is all about figuring out what you have and what holes you'll need to fill. Seven teams ranked in The Washington Post's preseason Top 10 enter the 2025 season fresh off of championship victories, but each will field fresh faces as they attempt to piece together another title run. Last year's All-Met Player and Coach of the Year have both departed — decorated coach Suzy Willemssen left top-ranked Bishop O'Connell this past offseason while No. 2 Woodgrove graduated ace Abbey Lane, now a pitcher at George Mason.

Boys' basketball Top 20: Two Montgomery County contenders enter the rankings
When this week of high school basketball concludes, the calendar will read 'February' — a notice to the area's top teams that the time to begin playing to their fullest potential is near. Less than a month remains before postseason basketball arrives. Many usual suspects have dotted these rankings all season — think traditional private school powers and star-led publics rounding into form — and that hasn't changed as the most consequential time of year arrives. Gonzaga and Paul VI will play on Tuesday in a battle of No. 1 and No. 2, both undefeated in the WCAC with first place on the line in a rematch of last year's championship game. It's one of three top 10 boys' matchups this week, the others being a contest between No. 4 St. John's and No. 7 Bishop O'Connell on Tuesday and a Saturday matinee pitting No. 3 Mount Zion Prep against No. 6 Sidwell Friends.
