Lansing's Boys Varsity basketball team has been gearing up for the start of the season with a game scheduled for tonight (12/02) against Trumansburg. "This should be a high energy game for both clubs," says Coach Adam Heck. "Both Lansing and Trumansburg were in the Junior Varsity championship last year so I think both groups have some good young talent."

Lansing has 6 players returning from last year's team: tri-captains Treyson Barresi, Chris Rubens, P.J. Bishop are seniors, and Juniors Ryan Shaff, Adam Nedrow and Chris Reukauf are also returning. Newcomers are Trevor Wolf, Shawn Mix, Andy Reukauf, Sam Burns, Ryan Earl, John Sluty, Teagan Barresi and Henry Stevens.

Last weekend the "A" Team went to State. That's shorthand that means the Lansing Girls Varsity "A" relay team went all the way, placing tenth in the State, first in Class C and breaking a Lansing school record twice in the 200 Yard Freestyle Relay. "I think it's awesome," says Coach Diane Hicks-Hughes. "It's nice to see the kids go that far." Making the State Championships capped a remarkable no-loss season for the team.

Lansing's Varsity Boys Soccer Team lost 1-0 to Spackenkill High School in the New York State Quarterfinals this week, after a triumphant season in which they suffered only one loss, against Marathon in October. The team played well to the finish. "They lost despite out shooting there opponents 9-3," says Coach Adam Heck

Coach Heck reflected on the outstanding season after the game. "The team had great accomplishments this year: finishing 19-2-2, out-scoring opponents 63-8, recording 16 shutouts and winning the IAC and Section IV class B championships."

The boys soccer Team captured the Section IV Class B championship on Saturday. With Lansing residents cheering them on, they defeated Susquehanna Valley 2-0 at Oneonta Hall of Fame Fields. "We won the class C championship last year and to win the B championship is incredible," says Coach Adam Heck. "I hope the guys have a few more in them!"
