Luxemburg-Casco High School

Spartans wrestlers like father, like son

When it comes to a sport like wrestling, the apples do not fall far from the tree.

 

Joseph Jeanquart and Calvin Henderson are two of Luxemburg-Casco's top wrestlers on a squad stacked with talent. Jeanquart is coming off of a sophomore campaign where he finished in sixth place at the WIAA Individual State Tournament while Henderson came up just short of Madison in the Fond du Lac Sectional. The pair recently won the Battle on the Bay and came away from last weekend's KC Stampede Tournament with multiple victories.

 

For Jeanquart, he is reminded of his lineage every time he walks into the wrestling room. His dad Jamie was a part of the 1992 Luxemburg-Casco team that won the first team state championship in school history. Being the latest in his family in the Spartans wrestling program means a lot to Jeanquart.

 

For Henderson, his father Adam brings his own impressive high school wrestling resume from Iowa matside as he cheers him on. He believes his dad's work ethic has made him a better wrestler.

 

The Luxemburg-Casco wrestling team are off until Monday and Tuesday when they travel to Dekalb, Ill. for a tournament.
