DeMatha has lost two of the last three games against Good Counsel, but still holds a 9-6 advantage in the series since 2004. The Stags are 5-0 at the midway point for the first time in the last four seasons. A key reason has been stellar quarterback play from junior
John Lovett. The 6-3, 194-pounder completed 16 of 24 passes for 237 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-10 blowout of Bishop O'Connell (Arlington, Va.) to open Washington Catholic Athletic Conference play last week.

On Sept. 22, the Falcons began WCAC play with a 45-24 win over Gonzaga (Washington, D.C.).
Dorian O'Daniel, who is committed to play linebacker next year at Clemson, ran for 325 yards and four touchdowns.
