The Lansing Girls Basketball team opened the 2010-11 season with a 45-18 win at Marathon on Tuesday night. Jocelyn Ford led the way with 19 points and a team high 6 rebounds, while Shanna Shaff chipped in with 9 points on 3 of 4 shooting from behind the arc.

Colby McCartney had 6 points, Carlene Fields and Maura McCartney added 3 points each, Soraya Leathers and Shea McCartney had 2 points and Kathryn Hornibrook had 1 point. Nina Lindberg contributed a team high 5 assists, while Taylor Policay had a team high 5 steals.

After a sluggish first quarter that ended with a 8-7 Lansing lead, the Ladycats went on a 32-1 run over the 2nd & 3rd quarters to essentially put the game out of reach, including shutting out the Olympians in the third quarter. The entire team contributed in a solid defensive effort that forced 33 Marathon turnovers, while holding them to 20% shooting from the field.

This years team is made up of 3 Seniors; Co-Captains Jocelyn Ford and Nina Lindberg and first time Varsity player Kathryn Hornibrook, 8 Juniors; Rachel Bruce, Megan Drake, Carlene Fields, Soraya Leathers, Colby McCartney, Taylor Policay, Shanna Shaff and Sabrina Tilton, and two 8th graders twins Maura and Shea McCartney.
