The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans came up just short in their senior night game 64-58 against the Waupaca Comets in the North Eastern Conference regular-season finale.

 

The Spartans played a strong first half, leading by 13 points at one point and taking a 33-28 lead into halftime. 

 

In the second half, the Comets reclaimed the lead and held on to the victory after the Spartans tied the game at one point.  

 

Costly turnovers late in the final minutes of the game prevented the Spartans from claiming the win.

 

Seniors J.D. Glampe and Josh Parins scored 13 and 12 points, respectively, to pace the Spartans, while Eli Derenne added 10 points.

 

Waupaca (11-7, 12-10 overall) was led by Austin Adamczak and Aaron Wolff, who scored 23 and 22 points, respectively.  

It was the last regular-season home game for four Spartan seniors: Glampe, Parins, Landon Derenne, and Reagan Doell. They were honored prior to the game and treated to a special video presentation of their basketball careers afterward. 

 

Spartans (3-15, 4-20 overall) will now host Green Bay Southwest on Tuesday night in a WIAA Division 2 State Tournament regional quarterfinal.
