The Mid-Atlantic Athletic Conference is made up of more than a seven different schools, with five of them residing inside of the Virginia/DC borders. Today we take a look at a few of those team rosters as we prepare for the 2026 season high school season.
MAC Season Previews:
Flint Hill Huskies
2025 Record: 21-8
11-13 to 21-8 turnaround from 2024 to 2025 for the Huskies. There were certainly other bright spots, but that was probably the most glaring. This season the Huskies return six offensive starters and a whopping eleven arms from their 2025 season. As a team, Flint Hill hit .321 with 48 extra base hits and 9 homeruns. That offense was led by Logan Lucca (Carleton College) and Sebastian Gratacos (Mt. St. Mary’s). Lucca is returning after hitting a staggering .422 on the season. Gratacos has graduated and his loss, along with guys like Vincenzo Fiorino, Jake Blazejowski, and PJ Lyons, will certainly make 2025 harder on the offense. The next leading hitter was freshman standout Asher Ricard. In somewhat limited time, Ricard hit .355 on the season. Returning senior Aidan Ryan swiped 26 bases, accounting for roughly 20% of their 132 stolen bases. Other names of note for the 2026 offense include Brennan Lublin, Bruce Waldschmidt, and Zach Rachinsky. Jackson Speer, Michael Morgan, and Marshall Johnson return for their senior season on the mound, and should be joined by underclassman Jefferson Speakes. All three of those arms combined for more than 50% of their innings pitched last season. Morgan had some staggering numbers, throwing just over 28 innings and only allowing four earned runs. Their biggest strikeout arm was Fiorino and they will need to find a shutdown type of arm, but they return experience and some upperclass arms to allow their offense to come into their own.

Maret Frogs
2025 Record: 11-10
Maret is coming off of a 11-10 season with notable early season wins over Potomac School and SSSAS. After they opened up at 5-0, there were not many signature wins after that. The Frogs lost 8 of their last 11 games with the offense struggling to score runs versus solid competition. From a statistical standpoint, Maret hit .224 as a team. Returners Grant King (.417 BA) and Isiah Williams (.396 BA) led the way. Both of them were far and away the highlights of the offense, leading the team in RBI, Runs Scored, doubles, triples, and homeruns. On the pitching side of things Devin Trendl was their standout arm, throwing 51 innings to a tune of a 2.3 ERA. Trendl only walked 16 batters all season, but will need more consistent defense behind him in 2026. King also contributed 45 innings of work on the mound, but much higher walk rates and lower strikeout totals pushed his ERA up a bit. Overall, there is promise in 2026, as they have their major contributors back, but will need added depth at the plate if they want to compete in the big games.

Potomac School Panthers
2025 Record: 15-9 *2025 MAC Champions*
Potomac School finished 15-9 last season. The Panthers graduated seniors Jake Adamec (Stevenson), Jason Seeber (Carleton), Colby Bohnen, and Wyatt Pence (Roanoke). Bohnen contributed at the plate and on the mound, while Adamec, Seeber, and Pence were big parts of the offense. Will Piester hit .400 as an everyday guy and Ian Parrish played the majority of the season, totaling a .395 BA in 43 at bats. Gavin Spiegel and Tony Diller will need to have strong seasons on the mound once again for Potomac if they want to challenge when it comes time for the playoffs.

Sidwell Friends Quakers
2025 Record: 15-8
After a strong 12-2 start to the season, the Quakers went 3-6 over the final month of the season. Solid wins over Flint Hill, sweeping Maret, and Potomac School were some of the highlights of the 2025 campaign. John McMurray, Tanner Breslin, and Kevin Carpenter-Holmes (Rochester) will certainly be missed, but with returners like Daniel Piho, Tommy Levy, Porter Speece (Chicago), and Owen Liu-Bailey, they should once again be in a solid spot to compete in the DCSAA. Liu-Bailey and Cody Encarnacion should be the two arms that will dominate time on the mound, both combining for more than 60 innings last spring. While they have some quality arms to compete for a DCSAA title, they will need to figure out how to replace some of their top bats from last spring.
