Thomas Stone football edges McDonough

Although both teams were already aware of their playoff destinations well prior to the kickoff of last Friday’s regular season finale, both Thomas Stone High School and host McDonough High were looking to attain some momentum heading into the postseason. For the visiting Cougars, who arrived on a seven-game skid, it was mission accomplished as they rallied past the host Rams for a 28-24 victory. Stone (2-7) will next head to Northeast of Anne Arundel County for a 2A South Region opening round contest this Friday, Nov. 6, while McDonough (2-7) will venture to Northern. While the Rams had upended winless La Plata 32-18 one week earlier to end their seven-game skid, the Cougars arrived having lost seven straight contests since they opened the season with a 33-21 victory over the Warriors.
