County Championships

County championships are only declared in varsity competition. Most schools must participate in a given sport to have a county championship declared and a trophy, cup, or plaque awarded.

New Format for Scheduling and Awards

Two six-team divisions have been established using enrollment and competitive balance to assure an equitable split.

Each team will play every team in the respective division once or twice for certain sports and play a certain number of teams in the opposite division. A division champion is declared based on winning percentage within the division. For sports that include ties, a win will count for one point and a tie will count for 1⁄2 point when calculating winning percentage. In the event of a tie at the end of the regular season, head-to-head competition will determine the champion. If head-to-head competition does not break the tie, a co-championship will be declared, and two or more awards will be presented.

The following championships will be determined in this manner: Baseball, Basketball, Field Hockey, Football, Lacrosse, Soccer, Softball, and Volleyball.

Divisions are as follows:

Summit

  • Reservoir (1)
  • Marriotts Ridge (4)
  • Mt. Hebron (5)
  • Oakland Mills (8)
  • Glenelg (9)
  • Hammond (12)
Sierra

  • Long Reach (2)
  • Howard (3)
  • Atholton (6)
  • River Hill (7)
  • Centennial (10)
  • Wilde Lake (11)

Guilford Park will be added to the divisions in SY25 when they will be able to field varsity teams in all sports.
