2021-2022 outlook

Going to be wide open in my opinion both because I think the talent is evenly spread out and because there was no season last year. I hear B-CC, RM and Whitman have all played well at the DeMatha Summer League. Just looking at the stats that are published for the DeMatha League, Whitman has one of the top scorers out there - Michael Ward. Again, the names won't be familiar because no one played and most of these kids would have been on JV last time anyone played or had very small varsity roles. I think Churchill has also been competitive in most games. I hear Einstein has improved greatly in the MOCO Elite League. Hard to tell with kids missing from a lot of games. That's why Summer League results can be very misleading. I remember thinking that about 10 years ago after going to a Summer League game where WJ ran Churchill out of the gym by close to 30 and then watching the regular season unfold. Churchill was missing most of its starters. When it came to the regular season, Churchill swept WJ, winning all 3 games (including a playoff matchup) by double figures each. So unless teams have their full rosters, it's going to be hard to make comparisons because we don't have the history of the prior season.
