Only a couple of more wins are required for the Skaneateles girls basketball team to earn a spot in the Section III Class B playoffs. With every outcome important, the Lakers hosted Hannibal last Friday night and improved its mark to 6-8 (5-7 league) with a 43-41 win over the Warriors. Having not played in a week, the Lakers did not show too much rust in a closely played first half, only trailing 21-19 going into the break. Then Skaneateles caught up, 31-31, going to the fourth quarter, and during a tense late exchange inched out in front and would hang on. Ashley Sheldon led the Lakers with 14 points, one of her best efforts of the season. Emily Call had 10 points, while Elizabeth Lane threw in nine points. Hannibal got most of its offense from Taylor Sorrell, who had 15 points (all from five 3-pointers), and Allie Taylor, who added 13 points. Skaneateles has four games left, including this Friday’s home contest against Solvay, to get the wins necessary to return to the post-season.
