Selinsgrove fall to rival in battle for division crown
By: Selinsgrove Athletics | NTL Sports | February 11, 2022
SELINSGROVE — Shikellamy scored four quick points to open the fourth quarter, and its defense limited the Seals to a field goal and free throw in the fourth quarter as the Braves outlasted the Seals, 20-19, in a Heartland Athletic Conference-Division I battle for first place.
The win clinches at least a tie for the Division I title. The Seals (14-5, 12-3), who are 7-2 in their last nine games, can get into the HAC Tournament with a win over the Indians in their regular-season finale.
Paige Fausey scored a game-high 14 points for Shikellamy, including all nine of their first-quarter points.
Cierra Adams and Haylee Nava each had six points to lead Selinsgrove.
