Season Highlights:
It was an historic season for the 2011-12 Immanuel Girls Varsity Basketball team! The journey through the season was absolutely amazing as the team started 0-2 in conference and then went on to go 10-1 to finish with a 10-3 conference record to secure the Small Dairyland Conference Championship!

The coaches write to the team:
The 2011-12 Immanuel Lutheran High School Girls' basketball team truly performed in a manner that demonstrated the power of synergistic play. The collective performance of playing together as a team was much greater than the sum of the individual capabilities of the players. As coaches we enjoyed the journey as we worked with you in facilitating your development and watching you continuously grow and improve throughout this season.
The statistics document that you were part of the best girls' basketball team to play at Immanuel. The quality of competitive game performance resulted in ever expanding fan interest and increased news media coverage. The packed barn supporting the Lady Lancers (including CLC grade school tournament players and parents) for the Regional win against Hillsboro with over fifty internet viewing sites was a very memorable night.
We suspected that this would be a different season when we returned from the Christmas break and won five games in a row including beating Lake Holcombe who was rated in the top ten in the state, and Blair-Taylor, who won the Large Dairyland Conference Championship. We received a rather significant "wake-up" call in our loss at Alma Center Lincoln. From there on the team played with a renewed vigor and resolve with a must-win mindset that led to eight victories in a row, including wins over Eleva-Strum, Independence, and Alma/Pepin (excitement abounds). The conference championship was claimed with a home victory over Cochrane-Fountain City, who we also beat in the first round of the regional play-offs.
It is gratifying to see how well you represented your faith, your school, your team and yourselves. Immanuel was with us. All glory, honor and praise to our Immanuel.
Coaches Dr. Jim Sydow and Prof. Ross Roehl
