Coach Dennis Randolph’s squad will seek to make amends for a 44-37 October loss to the Stallions at Parker-Gray Stadium.

“At playoff time, everyone is 0-0,” Randolph said Saturday after beating West Potomac. “We lost to [South County] in a close one. We sure can’t give up 44 points in a playoff game.”
