The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans remained undefeated Friday night with a convincing 38-14 victory over the Marinette Marines in a North Eastern Conference game before a homecoming crowd at the Sports Complex.

The Spartans scored on an Isaac VandenBush touchdown run early in the first quarter.  That touchdown by VandenBush set the career-record for touchdowns in school history with 36.  VandenBush would add another touchdown in the first quarter on a 33 yard run to give the Spartans an early 14-0 lead.

Marinette bounced back with a long drive and a punishing running game to close within 14-6 on an Adam Lemery five-yard touchdown scramble with 7:46 left in the first half.

Responding with two more touchdown runs by VandenBush, including a 76-yard scamper with under a minute left in the half, the Spartans opened up a big 28-6 lead.

After a fumble, Spartan kicker John Larson hit a 36-yard field goal as time expired in the half to make the score 31-6.

VandenBush added his fourth touchdown of the night (39th career) early in the second half and the Spartans cruised to the 38-14 victory.

Luxemburg-Casco (3-0, 6-0 overall) will now travel to Kingford, Michigan next Friday to take on the Flivvers in a NEC matchup.  The broadcast will start at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show and kick-off set for 7 pm on 96.7FM WBDK.  The game audio can also be streamed on the NewRadioSportsRadioNetwork.com.

Cancer and the Clintonville Truckers did not stand a chance against Luxemburg-Casco as they cruised to a 3-0 victory in NEC volleyball action Thursday.

The Spartans dominated from start to finish, taking the sets by scores of 25-9, 25-11, 25-15. The team improved to a perfect 4-0 in NEC volleyball play while also raising thousands for Raising Hope, a non-profit that provides assistance for cancer patients.

The undefeated Luxemburg-Casco Spartans host the Marinette Marines in a North Eastern Conference game Friday night.  The Spartans (2-0, 5-0 overall) are coming off a dominating performance late last Friday with an impressive 42-7 win over Little Chute.  Marinette (0-2, 0-5 overall) lost on the road 26-8 to Denmark last week.  L-C head coach Neil Seering says his team is playing well but still has a long way to go and can still improve a lot.

Friday’s game is homecoming at the Luxemburg-Casco High School with the court formally announced at halftime.  Paul Schmitt and Tyler Thrune will have the call starting at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show and kick-off set for 7 pm on 96.7FM WBDK.  The game audio can also be streamed on the NewRadioSportsRadioNetwork.com.

After competing in the tough Adidas Charger Challenge over the weekend, the Luxemburg-Casco volleyball reenters NEC play with a match against Clintonville on Thursday.

The Spartans went 3-2 in during their challenging weekend, beating the likes of Oshkosh West, Franklin, and Arrowhead while falling to Germantown and Brookfield East. The team has not dropped a conference match since 2019 after starting this year off 3-0 in NEC Play. 

The Truckers are 7-15 overall and 1-2 in conference action.  They have lost at least their last two matches, including a 3-1 decision earlier this week to Peshtigo.

It is the 13th Annual Pink Out Night where the volleyball team raises money for Ribbon of Hope. The organization supports families in Northeast Wisconsin battling Breast Cancer. Several activities are planned for the match which begins at 7 p.m.

Luxemburg-Casco grabbed their second win of the season when they defeated Denmark 2-1 on Tuesday. At the 37’ mark, the Spartans got on the board with a goal from Rigoberto Caseres. Zak Patek got the assist. Just a minute later, Denmark scored with a Ryan Bradley goal, and that was the only time they’d score all game. 

When the game got to the 75th minute, Cameron Rombaugh scored the deciding goal for Luxemburg-Casco. Matthew Ledvina had three saves for the Spartans in the victory. The Spartans host Freedom in their next game on Friday. 

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans will try to get to multiple wins on Tuesday when they face off with Denmark at home. The Spartans are 1-7 at this point in the season and are yet to win in September. Denmark comes into the game looking for their rhythm as well. They are 0-2 so far. Tuesday’s contest will take place at 6:30 PM.

The Luxemburg-Casco Fishing Team competed in its final tournament of the year over the weekend at Clark Lake.

Elliott took first among his teammates with a weight of 10.30 lbs for his three fish. That total was buoyed by one smallie weighing in at 4.2 pounds. Isaac took second with a  three-fish total of  8.4lbs and Ethan finished a close third with a three-fish total of 8.2lbs. Nathan caught one fish for 2.6lbs.

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team could not get their offense going in a pair of losses over the weekend in Port Washington.

The Spartans were shut out in its first game on Friday 6-0 against Madison Edgewood. Things did not get much better in its second game of the weekend as they lost their match against Port Washington 10-1. Rigoberto Caseres scored the only goal of the weekend for the Spartans, knocking it in past the Port Washington keeper after receiving the pass from Hayden Koss in the 13th minute after falling behind 3-0.

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team ran into tough competition over the weekend at the Charger Tournament.

The Spartans finished tied for 21st place with a 3-2 record. In pool play, the Spartans beat Oshkosh West 25-16, 25-16 and Arrowhead 22-25, 25-22, 15-9 before falling to Germantown 18-25, 22-25. The Spartans lost a three-way tiebreaker, falling all the way to the bronze bracket. In the bronze bracket, the Spartans lost to Brookfield East 25-22, 23-25, 17-19 before ending their weekend with a win over Franklin 25-15, 17-25, 15-6. 

Top performers included Emma Johnson (110 assists, 22 Digs, 7 Blocks), Grace Holschuh (39 Kills and 18 Digs), Autumn Flynn (26 Kills and 12 Blocks), and Brooke Vande Hei (39 Kills). 

"This is always a really competitive tournament, and while we lost a couple of really tight and intense matches, I loved the fight in our girls, they battled all weekend.  It’s a great measuring stick for us and will help as we move into the 2nd half of the season," said Spartans head coach Jeff Frey. 

The undefeated Luxemburg-Casco Spartans left little doubt against Little Chute on Friday night on which L-C team is the forerunner in the North Eastern Conference.  The Spartans dismantled the Mustangs 42-7 in front of a packed Luxemburg- Casco Sports Complex that saw fireworks before, during, and after the game.  The capacity Veteran’s and Youth Night crowd was entertained by pre-game ceremonies, a stellar Spartan performance, and a fireworks display after the game.

The Spartans struck early after Ryan Routhieaux took the opening kick-off 57 yards to set up a 3-yard touchdown run by Isaac VandenBush with 10:35 left in the first quarter.

The scoring in the second quarter saw the Spartans put up three scores to take a commanding 28-0 lead into halftime.  The scoring included a Routhieaux 4-yard run, a two-yard scamper by Owen DePrez, and a 9-yard pass from DePrez to Evan Dorner.

VandenBush scored again in the third quarter on a five-yard run making the score 35-0 and starting a continuous clock.  That touchdown was VandenBush’s 35th career touchdown, tying him with Joe Majeski for the all-time record in Spartan football history.   

Routhieaux capped off a career night with a 97-yard fumble return for a touchdown with 3:25 left in the third quarter.  He also had an interception earlier in the game as the Spartans capitalized on four Little Chute turnovers. 

The Mustangs scored late in the third quarter on a three-yard run by Drew Josten, but that was all they could muster against the Spartan defense all night long.

 Little Chute falls to 1-2 in the North Eastern Conference and 2-3 overall.

Next Friday will be Homecoming for Luxemburg-Casco against Marinette as the Spartans (2-0, 5-0 overall) look to keep their undefeated season going.  Matt Piesler and Paul Schmitt will have the call starting at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show and kick-off set for 7 pm on 96.7FM WBDK.  The game audio can also be streamed on the NewRadioSportsRadioNetwork.com.

The undefeated Luxemburg-Casco Spartan football team hosts the Little Chute Mustangs in a North Eastern Conference game Friday night.  The Spartans (1-0, 4-0 overall) are coming off a dominating performance late last Friday with a 40-21 rout that saw Luxemburg-Casco score 26 unanswered points to end the game.

Little Chute (1-1, 2-2 overall) is coming off a 31-27 victory over Denmark last week.  Spartan head coach Neil Seering says his team is ready for the challenge this week against a balanced Mustang team that is led by senior quarterback Kade Van Asten.

Friday’s game is Veterans and Youth Night at the Luxemburg-Casco Sports Complex.  Matt Piesler and Paul Schmitt will have the call starting at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show and kick-off set for 7 pm on 96.7FM WBDK.  The game audio can also be streamed on the NewRadioSportsRadioNetwork.com. 

Listen to the full interview with Spartan Coach Neil Seering here.

The Luxemburg-Casco golf team heads northwest on Thursday for a Northeastern Conference triangular among its member schools.

Little Chute and host Oconto Falls will battle the Spartans at River Island Golf Course in Oconto Falls beginning at 2 p.m.

While it is all business between the start and finish lines, there are plenty of smiles on the Luxemburg-Casco cross country team.

It is easy to smile with the success they have had so far this year with both the boys and girls' squad bringing home plaques for finishing in the top 3 in addition to individual accolades. It is also easy to smile when you are seeing personal records fall on a consistent basis up and down your roster. The cross country teams also know how to have fun by going on team outings to the beach, campgrounds, and most recently to Hillside Apples in Casco. Head cross country Katie Waege says having fun is an important aspect to bring out during the course of the long season.

The Spartans will tackle a challenging course on Thursday when they join the likes of Sevastopol, Plymouth, and Chilton at the Valders Invitational. The first race begins at 3 p.m. You can listen to the rest of our interview with Waege on the Luxemburg-Casco Spartans Central podcast feed.

Marinette opened the scoring at the 4’ mark and the Spartans netted the next two goals at the 12’ and 35’ marks to make the score 2-1. Scoring the first two Spartans’ goals were Rigoberto Caseres with a Daniel Rosales assist and Hayden Koss got a goal on a free-kick.

The Luxemburg-Casco varsity cross-country team swept the competition in Chilton on Friday, garnering first place in the varsity boys and girls divisions. In the boys division, five Spartans cracked the top ten. Gabe Havel got second place and Spencer Thiry got third. Lance Cherovsky took sixth and Hudson Thiry finished in seventh. Rounding out the top ten was Michael Otradovec. Also getting into the top twenty are Weiss Waege and Kyan Lynts. 

In the girls division, the Spartans also had five runners make it into the top ten. In order, places two through four went to Megan Vandermause, Madilyn Bevins, and Sophie Mleziva. Lydia Morozov placed sixth and Ella Wessel finished in eighth place. Alyssa Delebreau placed just outside of the top ten, getting eleventh. Micaela Boucher got thirteenth.

The Spartans also won both divisions in junior varsity, the middle school boys team won and the girls middle school team got second place.  

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans kept their perfect record intact with a big 40-21 road conference win over Wrightstown Friday night.  The Spartans overcame a slow start to pull away by scoring four unanswered touchdowns in the final 13 minutes.

Wrightstown took the opening drive down for a score to go up 7-0 in the first quarter before the Spartans responded on a three-yard run by Isaac VandenBush with 6:17 left in the second quarter.  A missed extra point left the score 7-6 and the Tigers converted on a two-yard run by Isiah Pennenberg right before halftime to take a 14-6 lead into intermission.

The Spartans survived a fumbled kick-off to start the second half when Wrightstown missed a 40-yard field goal attempt.  L-C then pulled even with the Tigers 14-14 on a 35-yard pass from Owen Deprez to Ryan Routhieaux and a two-point conversion.

After the Tigers scored a touchdown with two minutes left in the third quarter, VandenBush responded with a huge 64-yard touchdown run with 31 seconds left in the quarter.  A mishandled snap on the extra-point attempt kept the Spartans behind at 21-20. 

The fourth quarter was all Spartans as Deprez hit Routhieaux from 26 yards out to give L-C a 26-21 lead with 6:47.  VandenBush added two more TD runs of six yards and 16 yards to put the game away.

A Routhieaux interception with 2:53 left salted away the prolonged and penalty-ridden game for the Spartans.

Luxemburg-Casco (1-0, 4-0 overall) will now host Little Chute next Friday night on Veterans and Youth Night.  Matt Piesler and Paul Schmitt will have the call starting at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show and kick-off set for 7 pm on 96.7FM WBDK.  The game audio can also be streamed on the NewRadioSportsRadioNetwork.com.  

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team hopes their second W of the season can be found under the lights Friday night in Peshtigo.

The Bulldogs come into the game on short rest, losing to Kiel on Thursday 4-2.

The game is set to begin at 7 p.m.

Both the boys and the girls finished just below the top half of the field at the De Pere Invitational. Spencer Thiry and Megan Vandermause posted the fastest times on the 5K course for the Spartans.

The gun fires for the first race at 4 p.m.
