Bryce becomes the 32nd Lansing High School baseball player to sign a National Letter of Intent to play college baseball during Coach Michael Basler’s tenure, marking another milestone for the program. “Bryce is a coach’s dream,” said Coach Basler. “He is a high-character kid and a great student in the classroom. He is a natural leader, a great teammate, and has a high baseball IQ to go along with a strong work ethic. He has impacted our program in many ways, and I’m extremely proud of him. He has a bright future ahead, and I look forward to following his career.” Bryce was joined at the signing by his parents, Jason and Jessica Fullen, who have supported him throughout his academic and athletic journey.

The Lansing 8th grade girls’ basketball team finished an unforgettable season in the best possible way—undefeated and crowned 2025 KVL Girls’ Basketball Champions. The team capped off their dominant run by bringing home the championship trophy, securing a well-earned back-to-back (2-Peat) KVL title. Led by Head Coach Bishop and Assistant Coach Hamilton, the Lions played with energy, confidence, and relentless effort all season long. Their dynamic style of play and strong team connections made every game exciting to watch and showcased the dedication and hard work that defined this group. The road to the championship wasn’t without challenges. In the semifinal matchup against Mill Creek, the Lions faced a tight contest that came down to the final moments. With the game tied late in the fourth quarter, Reese Anderson stepped to the free-throw line with everything on the line. “I knew when I was fouled that the game was on the line, but Coach Bishop always says when I make shots there’s no shot bigger, so I knew I had to hit them—and I did,” Anderson said. Coach Bishop praised the team’s resilience and ability to respond under pressure. “During the Mill Creek game in the semis, we faced a lot of adversity. They’re a well-coached team that always gives us all we can handle,” Bishop said. “After being down to start the fourth quarter, we kicked it up a notch and found ways to get steals and baskets. Reese and Allie both hit important free throws to put us up at the end of that game.” In the championship game, the Lions left no doubt. The team applied constant defensive pressure and capitalized on key scoring opportunities to pull away and secure the title. “When we played in the championship match, we never let up,” said Maliyah Davis. “We just kept playing pressure defense and hit some big shots to increase our lead. We were so excited to 2-Peat!” Assistant Coach Hamilton echoed the pride felt by the entire Lansing community. “I’m so proud of this team,” Hamilton said. “They worked hard all season and deserved the championship.” Congratulations to our coaches and players, and to the reigning KVL Champions. This undefeated season is a testament to leadership, teamwork, and determination—and one that will be remembered with pride.
