Skaneateles defeats Chenango Forks, 27-26, on last play

With around thirty seconds remaining in the Class B state quarterfinal, Skaneateles head coach Joe Sindoni stood by the referee and tapped his shoulders twice, calling his final timeout.

“When you got a kid like that and he’s done so much for you, when he says ‘I got it,’ you believe that he’s got it,” Sindoni said.

On fourth down and three, Hackler scrambled left and high stepped past the first down line to the three-yard line. Read More
