Year-in and year-out, the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference’s Capital Division is one of the toughest in America. Last season, the five-team league was ranked the ninth toughest in the country.
2024 champ DeMatha (Maryland) led the way. The Stags were ranked No. 23 in the High School Football America 300 national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. Falling in behind the Stags were Good Counsel (Maryland) and No. 77 and Gonzaga (Washington, DC) at No. 211.
Many of the schools haven’t released their full schedules yet, but HSFA will keep you updated throughout the summer.
