Foul trouble proved too much for Luxemburg Casco to handle, as the aspartame dropped its regular season finale to Oconto Falls 48-41 as heard on 104.1 WRLU. 

 

Luxemburg Casco honored their seniors before warm ups got underway, and provided a special moment for one of the players.  After allowing Oconto Falls to win the opening tip and score, injured Spartans guard Brianna Bray was able to cap off her playing career with a basket and was embraced by her teammates as she was subbed out of the game.  The two teams seesawed through much of the first half, as the two teams matched baskets for much of the half.  Alana Mrotek hit a three at the halftime buzzer to give the Spartans a 22-16 advantage into the break. 

 

LC scored the opening 4 points of the second half, building the lead up to 10, before Oconto Falls was able to dig in and claw back into the contest. A combination of turnovers and fouls allowed the Panthers to sneak back into the game, ultimately taking the lead.  LC was able to weather the storm initially, but eventually this combination proved to be too much. Panthers guard Riley Shallow scored 20 second half points to lead the comeback, with 12 coming from the free throw line. 

 

Shallow led all scorers with a game high 24 points. Alana Mrotek led the Spartans with 10. 

 

Luxemburg Casco will have a week off, as it prepares for its regional semi final matchup against Plymouth next Friday.  We will carry that game on 104.1 WRLU.
