Lancaster has won 3 straight heading into the playoffs after a 52-47 victory over Williamsville North last night. The game started out really slow with both teams struggling to find the basket. North was able to hit a late basket to take a 11-10 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. While the Legends were able to get some more scoring in the 2nd quarter, the pace of the game was still very slow. Both teams seemed content to walk the ball up and run their offenses to get a good shot. Jackson Jerebko's hot shooting carried over from the last game as he hit a pair of 3's in the 2nd quarter and scored 11 points to give Lancaster a 26-19 lead heading into halftime. In the 3rd quarter Lancaster started to find a rhythm and extended their lead to 12 points and looked to be cruising to an easy win. However, in the 4th quarter some sloppy play and the inability of Lancaster to keep North off the offensive boards allowed Williamsville back in the game. North was able to get 2nd, 3rd, 4th even 5th chance baskets as they crashed the boards and outmatched Lancaster's effort. North was able to cut the lead to 3 points late in the game. To Lancaster's credit though they did not panic and held strong, hitting a few free throws and getting some timely steals to hold on. Jackson Jerebko finished with 20 points, including five 3's, giving him back to back 20pt performances. Jason Mansell scored 11pts and added 7rebs, 4 assists and 3stls. After further verifying, those three steals have put Mansell past Gianluca Fulciniti with 118 career steals. Congratulations Jason Mansell. Dominic Fulciniti chipped in with 7pts while Matt Jandzinski added 6pts. Channing Francis scored 4pts. Jaydon Brittingham scored 3pts and Noah Kimble had 1pt. The win puts Lancaster in a tie with Orchard Park for 6th seed in the playoffs. A coin flip will decide who gets #6 and travel to Lockport. The loser of the coin flip falls to #7 and will travel to Niagara Falls.
