For the second year in a row, Spartans fans will get to have breakfast at the Resch Center on Friday as the Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team opens its state run against top-seeded Sauk Prairie.

 

The Spartans run to the state tournament was perilous one, navigating past three teams in the top 10 (#5 Xavier Sectional Final, #7 Fox Valley Lutheran Sectional Semifinal, #9 Oconto Falls) to earn their spot in the final four. The Spartans are led by Aubrey Frey (712 kills), Rylan Kaminski (70 serving aces, 450 digs), and Alayna Deprez (1151 assists). Head coach Jeff Frey said a five-set defeat to NEC rival and fellow state participant Waupaca put positive things into motion for this run.

 

 

The Eagles earned the top-seed with a 29-5 record, including a five-set battle against defending champion Catholic Memorial in the sectional final. They are led by Mallory Hartwig (465 kills, 338 digs), Ella Logterman (59 blocks), and Alaina Kraemer (54 serving aces, 365 assists).

 

Tim Kowols and Bryan Mazur will have the call from the Resch Center beginning at 10:15 a.m. on 104.1 WRLU with the pregame show followed by the first serve at 10:30 a.m. The winner will move onto Saturday's 5 p.m. championship game against either Waupaca or Grafton. If the Spartans win on Friday, Tyler Thrune and Eric Fischer will have the call on 104.1 WRLU beginning at 4:45 p.m.
