Luxemburg-Casco wrestling celebrates century mark on Saturday

A celebration a century in the making will take over the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall on Saturday when Luxemburg-Casco celebrates 100 years of wrestling.

 

According to its website, George Gregor ran the program from 1924 to 1949, producing one state champion along the way.  Frank Chalupa took the program's reins in 1950, compiling a 224-46-5 dual meet record thanks to coaching 68 state qualifiers, 16 state place winners, and two state champions. In 1974, Emil Kuhn only led the Spartans to even more success in his quarter century of coaching, leading the Spartans to a 318-55-2 dual meet record and Team State championships in 1992, 1994, 1996, and 1999.  Kuhn mentored 77 state qualifiers, 61 state place winners, and nine state champions under Kuhn.

The Team State dynasty picked up steam under Bob Berceau, who led the Spartans to titles in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2012, and 2013. Chas Treml took the torch from his old coach, guiding the Spartans to state championships in 2018, 2023, and 2024. The support the wrestling team gets year after year was not lost on Treml earlier this year after the Luxemburg-Casco wrestling team won its most recent state championship.

Food, beverages, live music, and other activities will be a part of the celebration, which will take place on August 24th from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds.
