Gonzaga travels to Benedictine; Bullis–Loyola highlights Saturday football slate
Gonzaga’s Friday trip to Benedictine and Bullis’ Saturday visit to Loyola Blakefield lead a slate of eight confirmed DMV school football assignments for September 25–26. The weekend includes early afternoon kickoffs and a Riverdale Baptist home game being played at Flowers High School.
Gonzaga and Benedictine both list a 4 p.m. Friday start at Benedictine College Prep. The Cadets enter 2–2 after a 28–7 loss at McDonogh. They have recorded shutout wins over Blue Ridge and Matoaca, but Friday offers a chance to respond to their latest defeat.
DeMatha meets Riverdale Baptist at 7 p.m. Friday. Both schools’ calendars identify Flowers High School as the site. Riverdale is the designated host; fans should not assume the game is on Riverdale’s campus.
Bullis faces a Loyola Blakefield team that has won its first three games, scoring at least 41 points in each. The Dons’ most recent result was a 42–28 victory over Saint Michael the Archangel. Saturday’s noon game is at Hargaden Field, rather than Connor Field, which appears elsewhere on Loyola’s home schedule.
Potomac School hosts Saint John Paul the Great at noon Saturday after losses of 24–0 to Collegiate and 35–28 to St. Albans. The latter result provides a concrete offensive improvement to build on, with the next task turning that scoring into a win.
Flint Hill visits Episcopal at 2 p.m. Saturday. Episcopal’s two recorded results are a 20–8 win over Paul VI and a 34–0 win over Archbishop Curley. Its defensive performance is an area to watch after allowing just eight points across those games.
The remaining confirmed Saturday assignments are Bishop McNamara at Archbishop Carroll at noon, Bishop Ireton at Landon at 1 p.m., and Northern Virginia HomeSchool at Bishop O’Connell at 1 p.m. All times are Eastern.
