Renardo Sidney (pictured at right) can beat Westchester all by himself.

Fairfax was trailing Westchester, 51-44, with 2:30 left in the game. The 6-foot-10 Sidney then scored nine consecutive points to put the Lions back on top, 53-51.

Westchester tied the score with 20 seconds to play. After a time out, Fairfax worked the ball again to Sidney, who sank a 16-foot jumper with 1.8 seconds left to give Fairfax a 55-53 victory.

‘When we came out the huddle I told the guys to get on my back and let’s ride,’ Sidney said.

Fairfax is riding all the way to the Sports Arena next week to defend it’s City title.
