WCAC officials have announced they are postponing Fall sports, including high school football, until after January 1, 2021 with the first of the year being a possible start date. The WCAC has 13 teams in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

2019 WCAC champ Good Counsel (Maryland) finished No. 12 in the nation, followed by Gonzaga (Washington, D.C.) at No. 40 and DeMatha (Maryland) at No. 41.
