For wrestlers Josiah and Linken Bastien, wearing the colors of Luxemburg-Casco is a birthright.

 

The pair are the latest of the Bastien boys to battle in the school's wrestling room. Last year, brother Blakelee completed a high school career that included placing in the top six three times in the WIAA Individual State Tournament and two team state championships. Their oldest brother, Antonio Bastien, is also a part of the program's successful lore. Josiah and Linken say they have been able to take away a lot from each other, especially since they have always been pretty close in weight.

 

 

The Bastien boys are not the only ones in the house to represent the Spartans on the biggest of stages. Their mother was a part of some of the school's state championship runs in girls' basketball. Josiah and Linken both said that mom's advice has come in handy too.

 

 

The Spartans are back in action this Thursday with a triangular meet against Oconto Falls and Marinette.
