Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas). Taking on the Nevada powerhouse will be tough, but the game will be even more difficult for Good Counsel because it has to travel across the country.
Question mark: Can this team be even better than last year? There are many signs that this year’s Good Counsel squad could be even stronger than last year. However, with the loss of Diggs as well as Mike Madaras and Ryan Watson, that won’t be easy.

Good Counsel will be challenged for supremacy in Maryland by Gilman, which beat Good Counsel two years ago and nearly claimed another victory last year. The schools are relatively close in proximity and occasionally compete for students. The rivalry has been taken up a notch since former DeMatha head coach Bill McGregor joined Gilman’s staff.
Overall outlook: This team could vie for a No. 1 finish, or it could have several losses and drop out of the Xcellent 25. With the coaching talent, and developing chemistry of this year’s squad, we’re leaning toward the former happening in 2012.
Coach quote: “This team has a chance to be very special but they are going to have to want it. Coming off of three straight championships and a Top 5 national ranking is a tough hurdle but they have the talent to do it.”
- Our Lady of Good Counsel coach Bob Milloy
