The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans boys' basketball will head north to face Marinette on Tuesday as they play as the opening act in a doubleheader.

 

The Spartans entered the second half in a 10-point hole and could not dig themselves out as they lost to Waupaca on Saturday 62-49. Lance Cherovsky and Mason Burmeister scored 13 points in the loss, with two others scoring at least seven points.

 

The Marines enter the matchup 2-12 on the season, trying to snap a seven-game losing streak that dates back to December 12th. That streak includes a loss to Little Chute, where four players scored at least nine points, led by Deyten Magnussen's 11 points.

 

The boys will play at 5:45 p.m. before the girls' game at 7 p.m. The Lady Spartans have split their last eight games including a 54-34 loss to Mishicot in its previous game. Maggie Hanmann scored 11 points, and Erin Cherovsky chipped in nine points in the loss against the Indians. They face a Marines squad that is 11-3 on the season and winners of five straight. That streak includes a 44-38 win against 2023 state participant Freedom and a 64-49 victory over its border rival Menominee (MI).
