Football Moves to Sectional Final in Carrier Dome

The Skaneateles Lakers football squad defeated Canastota 28-21 in the Section III Class C semi-final on Saturday, earning a trip to the Syracuse University Carrier Dome this Saturday, November 4 to take on top seeded General Brown in the sectional championship game.

Down 21-14 at halftime, Skaneateles scored in the third quarter to tie the contest before Nick Wamp took a 10-yard pass from Patrick Hackler and turned it into a 65-yard score, hurrying down the right sideline, to take the lead 28-21 with just 2:37 left in the game.  Wamp's score was the difference maker, sending Skaneateles to the Carrier Dome for its first Section III championship final in five seasons.

Wamp caught 8 passes on the day for 189 yards and two scores, while Hackler threw for 367 yards and three scores and ran for 103 yards and another touchdown.
