out in a man to man defense that caused all kinds of problems for Sidwell Friends.
The Panthers stripped the ball on several occasions and passed the ball down court
for easy lay-ups. The first quarter ended up being the highest point production of

zone defense that resulted in the game slowing down quite a bite from the first quarter.

down. Potomac led 17-9 at the intermission. In the third quarter, the Panthers went to a full court press that created plenty of steals and scoring opportunities. Potomac extended their lead to 14 points, going up 27-13 after three quarters.

followed by Chris McNerney with 8 points. David Brady, Pete Dalla, Michael Diamond,
