Can the Sidwell vs. Maret Rivalry Survive Adult Intervention?

Tomorrow night, Maret's boys basketball team plays at Sidwell Friends.

It will be Maret's first visit since the rivalry between the two schools really got funny, or ugly, depending on how seriously you take sophomoric taunts.

Maret was leading during a game at Sidwell last month when the home team's fans nailed the visitors with a group chant of "O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!"

Both schools had been finalists in the effort to land tuition fees for First Daughters Elect Malia and Sasha. In case anybody from Maret had forgotten, the chant reminded 'em that Sidwell won the competition for the Obama girls.
