Just a fun little outing before taking care of business tomorrow.

The Lancers visited Coach Heeke’s former coaching stomping grounds to watch Bennett’s last game of the season, then celebrated the win with a fantastic dinner at Prime on the Nine, courtesy of our most devoted Lancer Road Warrior. (Shout out to Karen and her fantastic service!)

We are well-fed. Clear-headed. Ready.

Senior night isn’t just about the athletes—

To the ones who got them to and from years of practices. The ones who sat for hours in the stands. The ones who lifted them up after bad games and cheered them on in their victories.

We see you. And tonight, we celebrate you too.

Tonight in honor of senior night, our Lancer Dads announced their seniors and our Lancers Moms helped with handshakes.

…and we are just getting started 😤

The Spearville Lancers completed an improbable run to the SPIAA Championship last night beating top-seeded South Central 48-43 in overtime. The Lancers were down by as many as nine points in the fourth quarter before coming back to tie the game at 41 at the end of regulation. The Lancers entered the tournament as the sixth-seed and knocked of the third-seed South Gray and second-seed Meade on the way to the championship game.

Did Spearville’s Ian Melendez pass 1,000 career points in last night’s 48-39 win over Hodgeman County? Yes — at least by official record.

Melendez eclipsed the 1,000-point mark based on his past three varsity seasons, pushing him into four digits during Friday night’s win. However, it's possible the senior reached the milestone earlier this season after scoring in limited action as a freshman, though complete statistics from his freshman season are unavailable.

Regardless, Melendez — also one of the state’s top high and long jumpers — is now firmly part of the millennium club.

Coach Heeke is a firm believer in “You get what you give.” Invest in the community that invests in you—and give back where you can. In that spirit, the Lancers have chosen to give to area children.

Lancer Hoops turned into Lancer Spikes for the day as Spearville hosted the league meet.

SJS dusted off their (charged) headsets to reunite as the best check in, runner-wrangling team this side of the Mississippi.

It was a good day to be a Lancer.
