Both teams are ranked in The Washington Post’s top 20 teams for the area. Follow @TravisDC95 on Twitter for live scoring updates. The police and public schools announced Wednesday there would be added precautions in place and the game would occur two hours earlier. Numerous student fights at Seneca Valley during the Oct. 15 game against Northwest resulted in officials ending the game early.
