T.C​. ​Williams had​ ​a​ ​fruitful​ ​season, making​ ​it​ ​to​ ​the​ ​playoffs​ ​with​ ​a​ ​7-3​ ​record​ ​thanks to​ ​an excellent ​passing​ ​and ​rushing​ ​attack​ ​and​ ​an​ ​elite​ ​secondary​.  As​ ​they​ ​head​ed ​into​ ​the​ ​playoffs​ ​against​​ Lake​ ​Braddock​​, who were also 7-3, the Titans focused on​ ​execution​ ​and​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​surprises​ ​for​ ​the​ ​game.​ ​After​ ​an​ ​early​ ​exit​ ​from​ ​the​ ​playoffs​ ​last​ ​year,​ ​the​ ​Titans​ ​looked​ ​to go all​ ​the​ ​way​ ​to​ ​the​ ​State​ ​Championship.​ ​“The​ ​team​ ​has​ ​been saying​ ​since​ ​the​ ​summer​ ​that​ ​we​ ​are​ ​better​ ​than​ ​last​ ​year​ ​and​ ​[we] are​ ​all​ ​focused​ ​on​ ​our​ ​shared common​ ​goal​ ​to​ ​make​ ​to​ ​the​ ​state​ ​championship, [and we are] ​ready​ ​for​ ​anything​ ​coming​ ​our​ ​way,”​ ​said wide​ ​receiver​ Robert​ Longerbeam​,​ ​son​ ​of​ ​Head​ ​Coach​ ​Longerbeam.​ After their losing 32-18 to Lake Braddock, however, T.C. must now look to next season to build on their success.
