It's deja vu for Skaneateles

CORTLAND - Once upon a time, not too long ago, it was the Skaneateles girls lacrosse team that was beginning its dynasty. Perennially the Section III, Class C champion, the Lakers are still in the midst of it, but as far as reigning over the state - Shoreham-Wading River has taken the throne the Lakers held just two seasons ago.

The Wildcats took a lightning fast lead in the NYSPHSAA Class C title game at SUNY Cortland on Saturday and did to the Lakers what Skaneateles has done to opposing teams for years - sent them into the locker room wondering what just hit them. The Wildcats earned their second consecutive state title over the Lakers, only this time it was by a lopsided 21-5 outcome.

“We just wanted to run, run, run and take them apart,” Wildcats coach Bob Vlahakis said. “We wanted to go at them.”
