The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans could not match Wrightstown's defensive intensity and hot shooting on Thursday night, falling to the Tigers 71-51.

 

The Spartans struggled early to get into their offense as Wrightstown applied heavy pressure and forced quick shots and turnovers. The Spartans were within eleven late in the first half, but the Tigers went on a late run and took a 42-18 lead into halftime, ending with a three-pointer at the buzzer by Jaeden Kittoe.

 

The Spartans were led by Josh Parins, who made three three-pointers and scored 11 points, and Jacob Coisman, who tallied ten points. Eli Derenne and Brayden Duescher chipped in seven apiece, but it was not enough to overcome the Tigers' attack.

 

 

 

Wrightstown was led by Ethan Cyra, who scored 19 points, and Aiden Humphreys, who added 18 more.  Kittoe finished with 14 points, as the Tigers drained 15 three-pointers in the game.

 

Luxemburg-Casco (2-9, 1-4 in the NEC) will now travel to Freedom next Monday to face the Irish.   

 

The next Kewaunee County High School broadcast will be next Tuesday, January 14, when the Kewaunee Storm hosts the Southern Door Eagles in Packerland Conference boys basketball.  The pregame is set for 6:45 p.m., with tip-off at 7:00 p.m. on 104.1 WRLU and streamed on NEW Radio Sports Network.
