Welcome to the 2018 VA/DC Scoreboard, where we will post scores and recaps from games around our coverage area. We will put the Scoreboard up twice a week this season. The Tuesday scoreboard will feature games from the weekend and Monday. A second Scoreboard will run on Friday mornings with scores from the week. In these posts, we will focus on making sure scores and some recaps are included for teams in or near our Power 25.

Power 25 Rankings in the scoreboard reflect where a team was ranked at the time the game was played.
