SWR vs. Skaneateles, Class C State Final

Live here again at SUNY Cortland for the Class C state finals between Shoreham-Wading River and Skaneateles, a rematch of last year's final.

In the Class B game Garden City just won a wild 12-10 overtime game against Brighton to make it 1-0 for Long Island. The Trojans, who were so dominant all year, looked like today wasn't there day for a long stretch. They trailed 4-1 late in the first half before mounting a comeback. But they could never pull away in the second half. A great effort by both teams.

We're about four minutes away from starting lineups.
