Luxemburg Casco's football season has come to an end, as the Port Washington Pirates sailed past the Spartans by a 47-13 score as heard on 104.1 WRLU.  

Known for its passing attack, the Pirates ground game scored the first two touchdowns, as Mason Schwanz capped off the opening drive with a 10 yard touchdown carry, followed by a 1 yard score by QB Jack Bunyan after forcing a quick LC punt.  The Spartans were forced to punt on its second possession as well, and Port Washington finally scored with the aerial arsenal, as Bunyan connected with Aedyn Brownmiller for a 2 yard score, grabbing a 21-0 lead.  Luxemburg Casco's ensuing drive came up empty after a turnover on downs, leading to another Bunyan touchdown pass, this time going to Kiya Sullivan for the score. The Spartans blocked the ensuing extra point and hoped to capitalize on the momentum, but Eli Derenne's pass was intercepted by Kade Kintop.  Kintop returned the interception for a touchdown, but was called back for holding. LC's defense held together to force a 4th down, leading to a Grayson Allen 33 yard field goal attempt, which the Spartans were also able to block. Unfortunately, the offense couldn't find the endzone, as another drive ended after being unable to convert on 4th down.  The first half came to an end with Port Washington holding a 27-0 advantage, after being unable to add on in the waning seconds before the break.  

Luxemburg Casco got the opening drive of the half, and were marching down the field until Derenne and Ben Klass struggled with the exchange on the read option play, leading to a Spartans fumble.  LC got the ball back quickly though, as Ethan Werner picked off a Bunyan pass after Talon Tassoul popped the Pirates passer.  The turnover streak continued though, as Kintop came up with another interception, returning this one for a touchdown without a penalty.  LC did stop the  two point conversion, preventing a running clock for the time being.  The Spartans were forced to punt on their next drive leading to another Bunyan touchdown pass, this time going to Schwanz from 3 yards out to go up 40-0, ensuring a running clock for the remainder of the contest.  The Pirates went to their reserves, as backup running back Max Zillman took a 6 yard carry into the endzone to give the home team a 47-0 advantage.  Eli Derenne got one last drive at the helm of the Spartans offense, capping off his career with a 17 yard touchdown run to get Luxemburg Casco on the board.  The Spartans were able to recover a Jacob Walton onside kick, putting in their reserves, with Max Crine finding the endzone on a 5 yard carry, with senior kicker Wyatt Bailey hitting the extra point to cap off his career.   Due to the running clock, after the kickoff Port Washington did not have to run a play, as the game came to an end.  

Port Washington's season will continue next Friday, hosting Plymouth, who took down Winneconne 35-23.  

As for the Spartans, their season ends with a 7-4 season, and the team will say goodbye to  10 seniors: Tatem Klabauf, Eli Derenne, Lane Ledvina, Joey Jeanquart, Wyatt Bailey, Isaac Schafer, Max Crine, Jacob Walton, Julian Bailey, and Ethan Werner.  

A trip back to the Resch Center will have to wait a year for the Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team after they fell in their sectional semi-final to top-ranked Fox Valley Lutheran 3-1.

The Spartans bounced back from dropping their first set 25-13 to tie the match with a 25-20 second-set win. Head coach Jeff Frey said the third set was key as the Foxes took control of the match from there, winning the final two sets 25-23 and 25-18. " It was a game of runs; that 3rd set was huge," Frey said. "We needed to find a way to finish that one. When we didn’t, that flipped all the momentum back their way."

The Spartans were led by Claire Schleis (25 assists), Stella Schleis (13 assists, 12 digs), Aubrey Frey (31 kills, 13 digs, 2 aces), and Jenna Annoye (11 digs).

Frey was proud of how the season went, despite the end result. "We had a heck of season, and while the loss hurts, it doesn’t define them as players or people, beyond proud of them."

The loss means the Spartans say goodbye to another heralded senior class: Aubrey Frey, Claire Schleis, Jenna Annoye, Olivia Thiry, Caitlin Price, Cadence Jacobson, and MJ Olson. 

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team will travel to Fox Valley Lutheran High School on Thursday, Oct. 29, for a WIAA sectional semifinal matchup against the Foxes.

Two weeks after Oconto Falls denied Luxemburg-Casco a North Eastern Conference championship, the Spartans returned the favor Saturday night, defeating the Panthers 3-1 to capture a WIAA girls volleyball regional championship. After dropping a tight opening set 27-25, the Spartans responded with three consecutive wins, 25-18, 25-20 and 25-18, to secure the regional title and improve to 24-15.  Aubrey Frey led Luxemburg-Casco with 24 kills, 20 digs and two aces. Claire Schleis added 16 kills, 23 assists, eight digs and three aces, while Stella Schleis recorded 21 assists and seven digs. Ali Jansen contributed 11 kills and nine digs, while Jenna Annoye finished with 18 digs and three aces.

A tale of two halves lifted Luxemburg Casco past Merrill in Level 1 of the WIAA Division 3 postseason, as the Spartans won 42-14 to extend their season on 104.1 WRLU. 

The Bluejays took the opening possession of the game and marched down the field, finding the endzone on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Cole Rudie to Brody Klebenow. The Spartans were forced to punt on their opening possession, but forced a Merrill punt on the ensuing drive. Facing 4th and 2 on the opening play of the 2nd quarter, Eli Derenne hit paydirt, taking a keeper 32-yard carry for 6.  Wyatt Bailey started a perfect night of PAT kicks, tying the game. Merrill went back in front on its next drive as Rudie connected with Ryker Remington for a 17-yard pitch-and-catch for the score.  From there though, it was all Spartans. LC tied the game just before half, as Ben Klass scored from 1 yard out with Bailey hitting the PAT.  The Blue Jays tried to take a big shot in the waning seconds of the half, but it was intercepted by Derenne. 

Derenne took the opening kick of the second half into Blue Jays territory, but the drive stalled out and gave Merrill excellent field position to start the half. Fortunately for LC, the momentum swung back their way in a big way.  Talon Tassoul recovered a Blue Jays fumble, and shortly after Derenne scored again, this time from 14 yards, giving the Spartans their first lead.  Derenne completed the hat trick, scoring for the 3rd time, carrying from 50 yards out after a Blue Jays punt. The Spartans forced a turnover on downs on the following drive, and Klass scored on back-to-back possessions to seal the game for LC.  

Luxemburg Casco will continue its season next week, traveling to #1 seed Port Washington, who took down South Milwaukee 51-7. Eric Fischer and Ramsay Thompson will have the call on 104.1 WRLU.
