What a difficult night in such a great community. My thoughts and prayers go out to both families. I had the honor to have S.J in my class and his heart and smile would light up a room.
Sitting here reflecting a day after the loss has shown me how lucky I am. Lancer Nation always supports our teams, coaches work together to allow multi-sport athletes, and I have the BEST group of ladies you could ask for. Thank you for this ride and WE WILL BE BACK!!! ❤️⚽️🙏
The calm before the storm. Substate Final Monday at 6 pm. Come out and bring a friend. Let’s show BND what Lancer Nation looks and sounds like. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
Congrats to Kendall Knisley and Lexi Ward for their 1st team all state in class 2a. Also a shout out to Reese Hilsenbeck for 2nd team all state. Coach “Don” wants to thank you and the team for your success.

It's about that time. It's been an unbelieveable season with this group of young ladies. We've had ups and downs and plenty of laughs. We are 80 minutes away from getting to DesMoines. I believe, you believe, we all believe! Now fans come out, be loud, and support this team!
It’s been almost two years since the Lady Lancers laced up their shoes, pulled their jerseys on, and brought their Lancer pride. Monday we get our chance to do this at the Jamboree. Let’s the year begin ⚽️⚽️⚽️
What a great season. We want to thank our players, their families, the fans, and the boosters for supporting us all year. Ladies, we coaches love you and Ads we wish you nothing but the best. Thank you all for letting us be part of the ride. Enjoy your summer!!
Fifty-two weeks ago spring break was approaching and soccer season was holding on by a thread. Now we’re one week away for it to begin. So so excited to be able to be with our players, staff, and family. Good luck to everyone else on a season we can all be grateful for. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

North Scott with the upset over Waverly-Shell Rock 2-1 for their State Quarterfinal game.
The Lady Lancers said they might've been the underdog, but you see Cinderella teams all the time, and they sure proved that today!

Shoutout to Kendall Knisley for finishing her career in the top five for All Time In Assists and Goals. She did this in just three years. Great job Kendall. You will be missed.
So proud of these girls this weekend. High School girls captured some hardware. Jr High followed suit and played with GRIT. Oh, a sister picture as well. Great group of ladies.
Had our banquet tonight. Missing some, but this was a special group. Our seniors helped us to 4 state trips to state and 2 straight semi-finalist. Thank you to everyone within our program and who supported all year. Until next spring, we out!
Tuesday at 6 pm is the Lady Lancers semi-final game vs Dubuque Wahlert. Please help us spread the word. A large crowd wearing their Lancer reds would be awesome⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
