Win Over Taft Boosts Lane's Chances

Lane 74, Taft 60

Lane (10-11, 2-7): Shelton Jackson 26 pts

Senn 70, Lake View 49

• Lane Tech's 74-60 win over Taft put them in a tie with Lakeview for last place in the Red-North Conference with one conference game to go for each team. No team wants to finish in last place, for the last place team get's sent to the less competitive Blue-North conference next year. more...

• If teams finish tied for last place, it's been said (although not confirmed) that the first tie breaker is Head to Head Competition and that whoever wins the last game wins. So, Lakeview won the first Head to Head game over Lane but Lane won the second Head to Head last week so Lane will hold the tie breaker.

• Lane Tech leading scorer Shelton Jackson is apparently fine after injuring his ankle in last week's game versus Lakeview. He led the Indians with 26 points.
