The Luxemburg-Casco football team captured a big win in the standings but a signifcant loss on the depth chart Friday night as they beat Kewaskum 37-27 in Luxemburg.

The seesaw battle began right away in the first quarter with the Spartans defense forcing a three-and-out and responded a touchdown drive capped off by a two-yard run by Eli Derenne.

The two teams traded empty possessions before the Indians got on the scoreboard with a one-yard touchdown run by Landon Scheel. It was a shortlived celebration as Derenne scored on a 84-yard touchdown run to make it 14-6. After Scheel scored his second touchdown of the half, the Spartans were forced to punt the ball away to give the Indians a chance to stealing the lead before the break. A Joseph Jeanquart interception on defense and his reception on offense foiled those plans as the Spartans were able to stretch their lead to 17-12 before halftime on a long field goal by Wyatt Bailey.

The Indians eventually took the lead early in the third quarter courtesy of another Scheel touchdown run, but Derenne would score touchdowns on consecutive possessions to give the Spartans a 30-19 lead entering the fourth quarter. Indians quarterback Eli Ogi connected with Jace Wichtoski to make it 30-27, but one-yard score by Ben Klass put the game out of reach.

The Spartans clinched the game thanks to back-to-back sacks by Lane Ledvina to take the ball back with just over a minute to go. Disaster struck late for the Spartans however when Tatum Klaubauf got rolled up on the near sideline as they tried to run the clock out, suffering a lower body injury that required him to get carted off and ended the game early.

Derenne led the office with 16 rushes for 215 yards while going 14/19 through the air for 197 yards and a pick. Klaubauf was the leading receiver, grabbing seven passes for 98 yards.

The Spartans are back in action on Friday when they travel to Kewaunee to face the Storm. Eric Fischer will have the call of that game on 104.1 WRLU beginning at 6:45 p.m. followed by the kickoff at 7 p.m. The football team will be featured at Wednesday's Fall Sports Preview hosted by the Rendezvous of Luxemburg. You can watch the show in person or catch it online on the NEW Radio Sports Facebook page.

The wait is over on Friday night when the Luxemburg-Casco Spartans open the season against the Kewaskum Indians.

The Spartans are coming off a 8-3 season that saw them start the year off 7-0 before losing their final two regular season games. They slipped past Fox Valley Lutheran 38-36 in Level 1 of the playoffs before losing to Plymouth 35-6 in Level 2. They return All-Conference QB Eli Derenne, OL Jacob Walton, and WR Tatem Klaubauf, but will rely on its depth to replace 10 of its 13 selections, including Wide Receiver of the Year/Defensive Back of the Year Mason Trimberger. Head coach Neil Seering says they have spent the preseason building up their depth and looking for the right pieces to plug in the holes they need to be successful. 

 The Indians are coming off of a 1-8 season that saw them enter the offseason on a high note against Watertown with a 31-28 victory. They also struggled against Plymouth in their matchup, losing to the sectional finalists 42-10.

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans baseball season came to a close Tuesday, falling to conference rival Little Chute 9-1 in regional play.

Luxemburg-Casco struggled to get on early as Little Chute's Jaden Hermsen was dominant on the mound, striking out 10 over five and two-thirds innings. Ethan Dachelet had two of L-C's only hits on the day and Eli Derenne drove in the team's lone run, but it wasn't enough as the season came to a close. 

The two teams split during the regular season, each winning on their home field, and Tuesday's home game kept that trend going as Little Chute took care of the Spartans in front of their home crowd.

A tough ending for the Spartans, but a competitive regular season to be proud of. 

The Luxemburg Casco Spartans softball season has come to an end, despite a pair of late inning rally attempts, falling to Foxes Valley Lutheran 3-2 as heard on 104.1 WRLU. 

The Spartans struck first, as Alayna Deprez drove in Claire Schleis in the top of the 1st inning, grabbing an early 1-0 lead.  The Foxes answered back in the bottom of the frame, after Claire Pfrang hit a lead off triple and came in to score on a Madi Babcock sacrifice fly.  FVL grabbed the lead in the second as Paige Leavitt and Brianna Dahlke each drove in a run, while reaching on an error, putting the Foxes up 3-1. The Spartans were held in check in the third but knocked on the door in the 4th. Stella Schleis was thrown out at the plate, trying to score on a safety squeeze.  LC stranded two in its best scoring chance since the 1st.  

The Spartans defense tightened up, and kept Fox Valley Lutheran off the board despite traffic through most of the game.  Luxemburg Casco struck back in the 6th, when Claire Schleis collected her second infield single of the contest and came around to score on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Riley Westlund.  Luxemburg Casco did strand a runner in the frame but retired the Foxes in order in the bottom of the inning giving the team a shot to see if it had one last rally in them.  

After a leadoff strikeout in the top of the 7th, Abigail Buckmaster came up with another huge moment, ripping a double into deep right field. Coach Schoen elected to replace Buckmaster with a courtesy runner, who was thrown out at third on Alayna Heurkens hit a comebacker to the pitcher.  Down to its final out, Rylan Kaminski ripped a single to left field to put the go ahead runner on first. Unfortunately, the Spartans season came to an end on a Claire Schleis strikeout.  

Fox Valley Lutheran will meet up with Denmark on Thursday with a chance to go to State.  Luxemburg Casco graduates 7 seniors, Kirstin Wendricks, Vivienne Ducat, Brianna Bray, Alayna Deprez, Baylee Wypiszenski, Rylan Kaminski, and Riley Westlund. 

The battle of the LC's will extend to the baseball diamond Tuesday afternoon when Luxemburg-Casco travels to Little Chute to take on the Mustangs.

The Spartans clinched their spot with a 5-1 win over Shawano at home last week. Seven different Spartans registered the hits in the victory with Eli Derenne, Jacob Coisman, Gavin Lax, and Tatum Klaubauf recording the RBI. Lax earned the win on the mound for the Spartans allowing one run (0 ER) on five hits while striking out five across 6.2 innings of work.

The Mustangs tuned up for their regional semifinal against D1 Green Bay Preble, losing the game 6-2. Prior to that, they had won five in a row including a sweep against Denmark and a split against Waupaca. The two teams split their games earlier this year with the Spartans winning their game at home 3-1 and the Mustangs capturing their home date 4-3.

First pitch is set for 4:30 p.m.

Coming off last week's incredible comeback win against Seymour to clinch the regional title, the Luxemburg Casco Spartans are set to start sectionals on Tuesday, when it travels to Fox Valley Lutheran, which will be heard on 104.1 WRLU. 

The Spartans pushed past the Thunder with a 5 run 6th inning highlighted by a 3 RBI double off the bat of Abigail Buckmaster that put LC in front for the first time that afternoon, and was enough to lift Luxemburg Casco past the Thunder 6-4. 

Across the chalk lines will be Fox Valley Lutheran, having gone 22-3 this year, with one of its losses coming to Seymour earlier in the season. The Foxes are headlined by Madison Babcock, a prolific pitcher who is committed to the University of Minnesota, and outfielder Natalie Bromm who was named the state's Outfielder of the Year in a poll run by High School on Sports Illustrated Wisconsin.
