The Lansing Bobcat boys varsity basketball team has had a mixed bag of results over the last few weeks, with three wins, followed by two losses.

Against Marathon on January 20th, the Bobcats started a little slow, but used some improved free throw shooting and strong rebounding to win the 'White Out Game', 49-37, on Lansing's court. Zack Walker led all scorers with 26 points, with Eric Eastman and Tanner Winslow adding 8 points each. The JV Bobcats prevailed as well, 46-32.

Lansing traveled to Whitney Point the following Friday night to face the Eagles. The Bobcats again started slow, but slowly chipped away at a first quarter Whitney Point lead to earn the victory 56-48. The game got a little rough in the back half of the game, with one Eagle player being ejected. Walker contributed 25 points, and Eastman put up 15 of his own. They both had strong games on the boards as well, pulling down at least a dozen between them.

The Lansing Bobcat boys varsity basketball team turned things around with 3 wins in less than a week, with victories against Groton on January 12th, Southern Cayuga on the 13th, and T.A. Edison on the 17th.

Against Groton, the Bobcats jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter on their home court, and the Indians were never able to completely recover from that early deficit.

Zack Walker led all scorers with 24 points, and Karsten Zuidema added 8 points. Lansing was 8 for 11 from the foul line in the 2nd half, helping to keep the Groton team at bay. Groton had been ranked 9th in NY's Class C, but the final score had Lansing in front 45-33.

The Lansing Bobcat boys varsity basketball team had a rough start to the year, dropping games to Watkins Glen on January 3rd, and Trumansburg on January 6th.

The Bobcats were hoping for a repeat win against Watkins Glen, but Watkins prevailed with a victory on Lansing's court. The Bobcats showed moments of quality ball movement, shooting, and defense, but WG was able to keep the game in hand. The scoring breakdown had the teams tied at the end of the 1st quarter, but Watkins crept ahead by 3 at the end of the 1st half. Lansing was able to erase that, and gain a 1 point lead by the end of the 3rd quarter. That lead slipped away in the last frame, however, as the Senecas outscored the Bobcats for a final score of 39-31.

The Lansing boys varsity basketball team displayed some 'extreme' performances at the Watkins Glen Holiday Tournament on December 29th and 30th. In the first game on Thursday against Watkins Glen, they produced a win in spite of a lackluster offensive showing, and in the championship game against Trumansburg, an excellent defensive performance resulted in a loss to a tough opponent.

Against Watkins Glen, neither team could seem to get the scoring started, with the score 3-0 Lansing mid-way through the first quarter. The Lansing squad went cold for the back half of that quarter, ending with the Senecas up 10-4. The 2nd quarter had even scoring, although sparse, with Watkins still in the lead 16-10 at halftime.

N. Oplinger had the shutout in goal for a 12-0 win to start off the tournament. The second game versus Sara-Placid was much of the same with an 8-1 win for the Outlaws; the team was led by S. Falbo and A. Nielsen with 3 points each.
