The top teams in Montgomery County at the moment can generally be split into two groups: those in the 4A West region, and those in the 4A North region. 2019 was a strong year for the latter, featuring the county's top two teams (Northwood and Blair), two more in the top eight (Sherwood and Springbrook) and a fifth (Paint Branch) that finished the year strong, finishing as the county's sixth-best team at the 4A state championships. Will this be the year 4A West strikes back? In our virtual meet, the highest-ranking team out of 4A North (Sherwood) comes in at sixth place.
