Walt Whitman returns a strong team in 2022 in our hypothetical preview. They finished 2nd in the state last year. Winston Churchill also brings back a strong team and had a great season last year winning the Montgomery County Championship. With all of that said it's hard to pick against Severna Park. While they may not be as deep as the last few years, there is no doubt they will be in the mix come November.
