The Lansing boys soccer team ended their season with a 16-5-1 record.  They reached the sectional semifinals and lost to Dryden 2-1 in sudden death overtime.

The boys had a great year just missing the IAC title and a chance to play for the sectional title.  Next year the team will miss seniors:

The Lansing Football team defeated Greene 14-0 to advance to the Section IV Class C championship game.  The Bobcats once again relied on their defense, which put up their sixth consecutive shutout, while forcing three turnovers.

It was a Vincent Redmond interception in the third quarter that led to the Bobcats first touchdown early in the forth quarter, and eventual game winner, a 5 yard Trevor Countryman run, the Rusty Landon kick made the score 7-0.  Turnovers and field position were the keys to the game on this evening as Greene out gained the Cats 271 yards to 209.

The Lansing Girls’ Soccer team will face Elmira-Notre Dame in the Section IV Class B Championship game 3pm this Saturday, 11/4 at Binghamton’s Alumni Stadium.

The team (18-1, 6th seed) advanced after shutting out 2nd seeded Chenango Forks 4-0 on Wednesday at Alumni Stadium. While all 4 goals were finished by sophomore Rachael Palladino, senior Colleen Trowbridge and freshman Ellyn Grant-Keane were key to our attack as they assisted 3 of those goals. We also got a stellar performance out of senior Kelly Cheatham. Our defensive line continues to show their strength (led by sophomore Megan Palladino and seniors Kaycee Nedrow and Tiffany Lind) as they earned their 13th shut-out.

The Lansing Girls' Varsity Soccer team finished the regular season with a decisive 3-0 win over Elmira-Notre Dame at SUNY Cortland last Friday night to take the IAC Championship title. This was on the heels of a 3-0 win over Dryden in the semi-final game.

Sectional play opened up yesterday at home for the girls with a 5-0 win over Newark Valley. They next travel to 3rd seed Chenango Valley on Saturday for a 3:30pm game. This is a big game as Chenango Valley ended the Lansing girls' season last year with a 2-0 victory.

The Lansing Football team completed the regular season with a perfect 8-0 record following their 29-0 home victory over Dryden. It was a night that honored 13 seniors and their parents for their contributions to the Bobcat football program.

Once again it was the defense that put together its fifth consecutive shutout of the season, holding Dryden to 77 total yards for the night. Vincent Redmond had an outstanding night finishing 7 for 10 for 148 yards and four touchdown passes, to four different receivers.

Lansing Recreation Department's Pee Wee Fottball team played two games at Shoellkopf Field on the Cornell campus Sunday.  We got some action shots of the Lansing boys as well as the girls on the cheerleading squad.  It was cold and raining, but nobody seemed to mind, and the game, announced by Luke Kutler, was full of action.

Lansing's Girls Varsity Swimming and Diving Team completed its dual meet season undefeated Tuesday when they defeated Watkins Glen 118 to 62, in a meet at Watkins Glen.  Watkins Glen started strong in the first event, taking first in the Women 200 Yard Medley Relay.  They were followed by the Lansing A team, Hannah Wingate, Leigh Conley, Claire Eckstrom and Rachel Bland, in second place, and the Lansing B team, Lexi Payton, Erin Obrien, Kelsy Quigley and Kendal Dean, in third.

But Lansing took first in a series of events starting with the 200 Yard Freestyle, when Nikki Dean took first place in 2:01.44, scoring 6 points.  Kali Dean and Lexi Payton also scored for Lansing.  Hannah Wingate sped to the finish in the 200 Yard IM, taking first place in 2:29.53.  Erin Obrien finished second for Lansing, with Kelsy Quigley scoring in fourth.

Tompkins Girls Hockey Association Open House Scheduled October 30

Girls of all ages are invited by Tompkins Girls Hockey Association (TGHA) to two upcoming events introducing girls to ice hockey on Monday, October 23 and Monday, October 30.

Lansing's Recreation Department is offering a wealth of programs this fall.  With everything from bowling to yoga, basketball to karate, there is something for everyone.  There are plenty of programs for kids, but also many for adults including a cardio step class, swimming, co-ed volleyball, and men's basketball.

Basketball
Speaking of basketball, programs for 4th through 6th graders are accepting registrations now, and everyone who registers will get a free basketball.  "We're going to include a free basketball for the kids instead of a t-shirt," says Recreation Director Steve Colt.  "It's easier to practice dribbling your basketball than it is to dribble your t-shirt.  And most of the kids have a drawer full of them!" he laughs.

Great win Tuesday night against Dryden in the Girls Soccer Semi-Finals. The girls showed up ready to play. They played as a team; solid and focused. Lansing won 3-0, outshot them 25-2 and controlled the tempo of the game throughout both halves. It was a full team effort.

Rachael Palladino scored twice and Preeti Panda scored once. Assists came from Colleen Trowbridge, Ryann Cretney and Veronica Palladino.

The boys varsity soccer team will play for the IAC championship on Friday October 20th.  The boys have reached the final doing it the hard way.  Lansing did not win the Division III championship but had a chance to get to the final four of the IAC if they could beat Elmira Notre Dame in a wild card playoff in Trumansburg on Monday.  

They did just that beating Notre Dame 1-0 behind a goal by Dan Hranek with 15 minute to play in the game. The goal was set up by Walker Diebolt and Lucas Heffron.
