Luxemburg-Casco High School

Spartans power past Plymouth, will play for Regional Title on 104.1 WRLU

Luxemburg Casco's season will continue, as the Spartans took down Plymouth 44-29 on 104.1 WRLU to advance to the regional finals on Saturday night.  

 

Luxemburg Casco jumped out to a 7-0 lead early on, as Sienna Blohowiak scored 5 early points to put the Spartans in front.  Natalie Mauk got the Panthers on the board when she split a trip to the free throw line, followed by a bucket by Claire Poppe.  The make by Poppe would be the only field goal that Plymouth would make in the first half, as Luxemburg Casco closed the half on a 15-2 run, to take a 22-5 lead into the locker room at halftime.  

 

Scoring picked up in the second half, with Plymouth scoring on its first two possessions, nearly matching its first-half scoring total.  Luxemburg Casco was able to keep pace, though, spreading the scoring efforts out.  The Panthers got as close as 10 points, thanks to the long-range shooting of Izzy Stielow, who scored 12 points, all on second-half three-pointers.  With the score tightening, and the Spartans holding a 39-29 lead, a late bucket by Alayna Deprez gave LC a bit of breathing room, as it closed the game on a 5-0 run, including a pair of made free throws by Karsyn Walczyk that iced the game and led to the Panthers pulling its starters.  

 

Blohowiak's 10 points paced the Spartans, with Deprez and Alana Mrotek each adding 8 to power the Spartans into the WIAA Regional Finals.  Luxemburg Casco will travel to #1 Xavier (Appleton) on Saturday night. The Hawks moved on courtesy of a 59-33 win over Ashwaubenon.  We will have the broadcast of that game on 104.1 WRLU with the pregame show at 6:45, with tipoff to follow at 7 pm.
