Luxemburg-Casco soccer had a rough Tuesday at Sturgeon Bay but they rebounded well Thursday afternoon at Wrightstown with a 5-0 win. The game's start time was moved up a half hour to avoid Packer football traffic. The early kickoff didn't seem to affect L-C. They were up 2-0 after the first half with goals by Derrick Davister and Cody Arendt. After the break, the Spartans kept pouring it on. Griffin Saldana netted a goal in the 61st minute and Carter Sewell scored twice. Sewell's first was on the PK, his second in the 70th minute. 

Luxemburg-Casco Spartan football will travel to Oconto Falls Friday night to take on the Panthers in a North Eastern Conference matchup.  The Spartans (2-2, 2-3 overall) are coming off a big 48-13 drubbing of Clintonville last week while Oconto Falls (0-5, 0-5 overall) will be looking for their first win after falling to Fox Valley Lutheran 45-14.  The pregame is set for 6:30 pm on WBDK 96.7 FM with kickoff scheduled for 7 pm.  The game will also be streamed live on DoorCountyDailyNews.com.

Thursday's trivia question is, "Spencer Thiry had the top time in Luxemburg-Casco's first cross country meet this season. Who was the fastest on the girls' side in that race at Two Rivers?"

You can find this question in the DoorCountyDailyNews.com E-paper. If you answer correctly through the E-paper, you have an opportunity to win a $25 certificate to The Rendezvous.

The answer will be posted at 7 AM on Friday.

The road to Madison for wrestling actually begins on the cross country course for Luxemburg-Casco's Lucas Joniaux. A three-time state medalist on the mat, Joniaux joined the cross country team as a sophomore to build up endurance for wrestling. Joniaux, who has cracked the 20-minute mark twice this season on 5K courses, says there are some similarities between wrestling and cross country.

Luxemburg-Casco's cross country teams head to Mishicot on Thursday for the Jim Bremser Invitational beginning at 3:30 p.m. before competing next Thursday in Pulaski.

Luxemburg-Casco volleyball hosted Wrightstown on Tuesday and swept them three sets to none to pick up their third conference win. The first set was a breeze for the Spartans winning 25-8 but the final two sets were more of a struggle. They took them 26-24 and 25-20. Bekah Day had 31 assists and 3 aces. Grace Holschuh led the Spartans with 12 kills and Kenzie Hanson added eight kills and three aces. Alli Routhieaux had a big match with 14 digs and three aces. 

Luxemburg-Casco will have a week off before hosting another conference matchup, this time against Clintonville at 7 PM on October 1st.

Luxemburg-Casco soccer couldn't match Sturgeon Bay's level of play on Tuesday and came away with an 8-0 road loss. The Clippers started scoring early and often and led 5-0 at halftime. The loss doesn't hurt the Spartans too much in the standings as it was a non-conference game. L-C is 2-0 in the North Eastern Conference and will play a conference matchup on Thursday at Wrightstown. That match will begin at 4:30 PM.

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans ran over the Clintonville Truckers 48-13 in Luxemburg Friday night in a North Eastern Conference football game.  The Spartans scored on their first offensive play with a 50 yard run by quarterback Matt Cravillion.  Clintonville did tie up the score with a 7:45 left in the first quarter on an 8-yard option run by Hunter Allender.  Luxemburg-Casco tallied three touchdowns in the second quarter to take a 28-7 lead into halftime.  

After intermission, Running back Reese Worachek scored one of his three touchdowns on a nine-yard run with 4:22 left in the third quarter to give the Spartans a 35-7 lead.  Worachek finished with a game-high 178 yards in rushing on 20 carries while Cravillion added 81 yards rushing while throwing for 73 yards and two touchdowns.  

Clintonville, who remains winless (0-5, 0-5 overall), could only muster 62 yards in rushing against a stellar L-C run defense.  The Spartans (2-2, 2-3 overall) will now travel to Oconto Falls next Friday to take on the Panthers in a game you can hear on 96.7 FM WBDK starting at 6:30 with the pregame show with kick-off at 7 pm.

Luxemburg-Casco volleyball has a solid 16-8 overall record so far this season and 2-1 in the North Eastern Conference. The Spartans would like to match the success that the 2017 team had when they made it all the way to the state championship game. That squad finished at 36-7 overall and undefeated in the conference. L-C knocked off Merrill in the state semi-final game and then lost a very close championship match to Lakeside Lutheran.

Merrill was the correct answer to Thursday's trivia question. Congratulations to Anita Kinnard for answering the question correctly! Anita is the winner of a $25 certificate to The Rendezvous in Luxemburg.

There are not too many Friday nights left for Luxemburg-Casco’s Bryce Hanmann, but he hopes the fun does not stop this season. The senior guard helped the Spartans earn their first victory last week at Marinette. Hanmann says it feels like yesterday he was a freshman going against the upperclassmen, but he is hoping for plenty of tomorrows with his fellow seniors on the line.

He believes his summer work has helped him with his run and pass blocking technique as he and the rest of the team prepare for the Freedom Irish on Friday. After high school, Hanmann hopes to attend UW-Madison to become a sports medicine physician.
