Area high school teams are weighing their options for potential action this summer.

The WIAA canceled the spring season last week due to COVID-19 concerns, but it left the door for teams to start up July 1st for 30 days. It allows a couple of weeks in between the truncated summer and the fall season and would allow seniors to wear their alma mater's colors one more time before starting college. Luxemburg-Casco track coaches met virtually with its team Monday about the possibility of possibly competing in July, even if it is just an intrasquad meet.

Luxemburg-Casco showed its support for its spring sports athletes Monday night by simply flipping the switch. 

The school district lit up its outdoor sports facilities in support of its spring sports athletes, which have had their seasons uprooted thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. It follows a trend started earlier this month when Kewaunee and Southern Door participated in a similar light-up campaign. Spring sports athletes have a glimmer of hope that a truncated season could take place when the WIAA meets on Tuesday via teleconference.

Out for most of the year with an injury, former Luxemburg-Casco star Cassie Schiltz is catching fire in the Green Bay women's basketball lip sync championships.

Lip syncing the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Fishin' in the Dark," Schiltz defeated Meghan Pingel's take on "International Harvester"  in the Sweet 16 round in the 2020 Green Bay Women's Basketball Lip Sync Battle. Schiltz will have a tough task in the elite eight round if she wants to set up an All-Kewaunee County semifinal with former Algoma standout Anna Dier. She will have to topple head coach Kevin Borseth for that right.

Twice was just as nice for Luxemburg-Casco when it captured its second straight softball championship in 2010. 

The Spartans matched their success from the year before on the mound, allowing just two runs in two days including a shutout in the state title game against Rice Lake. In its 5-2 victory over Fort Atkinson, Kalli Schmelzer went the distance, allowing just one earned run while scattering just five hits. The game was tied 2-2 heading into the top half of the seventh inning when the Spartans exploded for three runs. Mariah Mleziva was responsible for two of the three runs, tripling home Lacey Agamaite before she scored on a wild pitch.

In their 4-0 win over Rice Lake, the Spartans once again struck late, including a three-run sixth inning to put the game well out of reach. Schmelzer allowed just one hit in her second complete game of the tournament while striking out six. The Mlezivas and the Detervilles keyed the offensive rally in the sixth inning. Dawn Deterville drove in Missy Mleziva to drive in a run and scored on a wild pitch while Danielle Deterville was up to bat. Mariah Mleziva scored on an RBI hit by Amanda Engebose. The state championship game against Rice Lake saw the Spartans tie a state record with six sacrifices.

Luxemburg-Casco limited its opponents in the 2009 state softball tournament to just a run apiece en route to its first state championship in the sport.

Danielle Deterville proved to be kryptonite for bats at the state tournament, pitching complete games in both contests, allowing just one run each game and scattering a total of just nine hits. Deterville provided much of the offense in the team's opening game against Altoona, driving in two Spartans on an RBI single in the team's 3-1 win.

The Spartans would clinch their first softball state championship with a 4-1 win over Monroe. Lacey Agamaite opened the scoring by reaching home on a wild pitch followed by Steffi Kinnard driving in her first of two runs by plating Nicole Bruening. The Spartans would scored more insurance two innings later thanks to another Kinnard RBI hit and her alert base running on an error.

It was the first state championship in its second try for the Spartans, repeating the feat the following year. We will highlight that team later this week at DoorKewauneeHighSchoolSports.com.

The Luxemburg-Casco wrestling team believes it has three members that were among the best on the mat and in the classroom in the past year.

Easton Worachek, Hunter Joniaux, and Lucas Joniaux were nominated to earn the status of an academic all-state wrestler. The honor is open to those wrestlers who had at least a 3.5 GPA and were a sectional qualifier. 

After a year off, Colton Worachek is heading back to school. 

According to the Luxemburg-Casco Wrestling Facebook page, L-C alum and volunteer Assistant Coach Worachek will continue his education and wrestling career at Itasca Community College in the fall. The last time he took the mat competitively was 2019 when he ended his state championships weekend on a high note with a win in the 3rd place match at 160 pounds. He was a three time state qualifier, placing twice. Itasca Community College is based in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
