Not many teams in Montgomery County have been as dominant as Quince Orchard High School football has been lately. The defending Maryland Class 4A state champions head in to this year’s playoffs undefeated and riding a 22-game winning streak dating back to the start of the 2024 campaign.
The Cougars are searching for their fourth state title in the last five years and it begins with a home regional playoff game against Gaithersburg 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7. These two teams actually just played last week in a regular season matchup, with Quince Orchard beating Gaithersburg 35-0. That was one of four shutouts Quince Orchard has recorded this season. The closest game of the year for Quince Orchard so far was a 35-28 victory over Sherwood back in October.

If Quince Orchard beats Gaithersburg, the Cougars would face rival Northwest in the second round of the postseason on Nov. 14. Quince Orchard beat Northwest in the regular season 35-16 but the playoffs present a whole different challenge for any team involved.
