Toughest Schedules - 2/23/19

This is an update to a mid-season post about who had played the toughest schedules .  As explained before, the MCPS schedule is basically set for all teams by the county.  Each team plays the other teams in their division in an unbalanced schedule (meaning they only play some teams twice) for a total of 8 games.  Then each team plays the other teams in their section.  Finally, their schedules are rounded out to form 20 games that the MPSSAA will use to seed the section tournaments.  The teams then play these schedules for a two-year cycle with the games being a mirror image for those two years (ie: Poolesville plays at Whitman in year one and then they play at Poolesville in year two). Teams can up to drop up to two MCPS games (they must declare it before the two years scheduling commences) to play private schools, Frederick County schools, or in tournaments like the She Got Game. The teams are allowed to play up to two games in a holiday tournament and these g...
