Luxemburg-Casco struggled to find a rhythm Tuesday night against a tough Pulaski defense anchored by a full-court press. Early misfires put the Spartans in a quick 12-point hole, and they never fully recovered in a 76-56 loss.

In a game defined by runs on both sides, Pulaski’s pressure held strong. L-C trailed 45-24 at the break despite flashes of energy.

The Spartans made a push midway through the second half with a more aggressive offensive attack, but the gap was too large to close and the Red Raiders stayed firmly in control.

L-C will have a day to regroup before hitting the road again, this time heading to Little Chute for a 7 p.m. start Thursday.
