After Winter Storm Jonas kept the Sidwell Friends and Maret boys’ basketball teams away from games for eight and 10 days, respectively, and allowed each only a pair of practices, the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Athletic Conference rivals came out firing on Friday night. They brawled for four quarters plus an extra session, trading the lead eight times in the final 12 minutes in front of a packed gym at Maret in Northwest Washington.

 

Sidwell junior guard Jelani Williams scored five of his game-high 26 points in overtime and willed the Quakers to a 78-71 win. Neither team had led by more than five points in regulation.
