Although neither high-school football team has won many games in recent seasons, the Bishop O’Connell Knights and Bishop Ireton Cardinals still play their version of a Super Bowl each fall.
The annual contest pits the longtime Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) private-school rivals each year in a regular-season clash. A victory earns 12 months of bragging rights and, usually, a berth into the WCAC Metro Division playoffs.

Not in a dramatic way. Friends move away, people get busy, and actually seeing the same guys regularly almost never happens.

Langston Blvd has been without its McDonald’s for about seven months, but that’s about to change.
The company is in the final stages of constructing a “modernized” restaurant on the grounds of its former red-roofed joint at 4834 Langston Blvd. The new build, which replaces the old-school look with the franchise’s updated, neutral color palette, is expected to open next month.
