Huntingtown, which reached the 2024 and 2023 Maryland Class 2A state title game, will play at No. 8 North Point this weekend in a key Southern Maryland Athletic Conference (SMAC) contest. 

Nationally-ranked Saint Frances Academy and DeMatha Catholic remain Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, followed by Archbishop Spalding, McDonogh School, and Quince Orchard. The second 5 stay intact with Our Lady of Good Counsel, Charles H. Flowers, North Point, Milford Mill Academy and Loyola Blakefield.
