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.

Six Lansing Middle School singers earned a spot in this year’s Northeast Kansas Music Educators Association (NEKMEA) Middle-Level District Honor Choir, representing LMS among some of the region’s most talented young vocalists. Over the weekend, students traveled to participate in the prestigious event, which brought together approximately 170 middle-level singers from 34 schools across Northeast Kansas. The honor choir experience gives students the chance to rehearse and perform high-level choral music alongside peers from other districts, all under the direction of a guest clinician. LMS students selected for the 2025 NEKMEA Middle-Level District Honor Choir included: Amara Robinson (8th grade) Dominick McNeal (8th grade) Leah Nickelson (8th grade) Kinley Hawks (8th grade) Dakota Vaughan (8th grade) MJ Carson (7th grade) During the day-long clinic and performance, students worked with nationally recognized composer and conductor Ryan Main, who led rehearsals and also composed several pieces featured in the concert. His guidance challenged students musically while also giving them an inside look at the creative process behind choral performance. “This was an incredible experience for our singers,” said LMS choir staff. “It was a great day for music making and a great day to be a Lion.” Congratulations to Amara, Dominick, Leah, Kinley, Dakota, and MJ for their hard work, dedication, and outstanding representation of Lansing Middle School. Their selection to NEKMEA Honor Choir reflects both their individual talent and the strength of the LMS choral program.

The Lansing Angels Holiday Program has seen an incredible outpouring of generosity this season. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far to support Lansing families—your kindness is making a real difference. For the first time ever, all holiday program tags have been claimed. While those gift requests are fully covered, there is still an ongoing need for cash and grocery gift cards to help families through the remainder of the holiday and winter season. With increased need for food resources in our community—especially as some families are impacted by changes in government services and paused SNAP benefits—grocery gift cards and cash donations are especially helpful right now. These contributions allow Lansing Angels to respond quickly and directly to family needs as they arise. How to Donate We are still accepting: Cash donations Grocery/food gift cards, including: Aldi Walmart Dillons All donations can be dropped off at Lansing Middle School (LMS). Thank You for Supporting Lansing Families Lansing Angels continues to serve and support families across our district, and your generosity helps ensure that students and families have what they need during the holidays and into the winter months. We’re grateful for a community that shows up for one another. If you have questions or would like to help in another way, please contact the Lansing Angels Holiday Program through your school or the district office.
