On Saturday afternoon, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m., the Potomac School Panthers (4-4, 2-1) host the Sidwell Friends Quakers (6-2, 1-2) with second place at stake in the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Conference for the high-school football teams.
If Potomac School wins, it will finish second for the fifth straight season, all with 3-1 records. The Panthers have placed second in the league, all with 3-1 marks, seven of the last eight seasons, preceded by a 4-0 championship campaign in 2012.
The only other time the Panthers didn’t finish second, they were last with an 0-4 league mark.
So being second is something the team has been quite good and consistent at doing over the years.
We’ll see what happens Nov. 6.
