nger playing days. Bryce also credits his uncle as well for teaching and coaching alongside his dad and giving him pointers and tips as he was coming up. Bryce has lots of fond memories from his playing days with friends, family, and being coached by his father and Uncle. He cites that once as a youngster they lost a game to a talented Green Bay Sluggers, and the opportunity presented itself to play them the following day. Bryce was not a fan of the decision, and in fact was put on the mound to pitch in addition to his lack of interest to play this team again. He ended pitching a one hit, three inning gem, but credits the loss to fellow Senior Jake Cravillion for giving up a Grand Slam to a future Clemson commit. His fondest moment of this was the opposing coach after the game driving by just pointing at him and smiling as he drove away. The recognition may have been little and unseen to others, but affirmation from an opposing coach has stuck with Bryce to this day. This can remind us that simple acts of good can go a long way and mean a lot more than we know. So fast forward to 2020 to a young man with a big heart and a bright future. Bryce is heading to UW-Madison in the coming year to enroll in the Kinesiology program where he hopes one day to find himself on the training staff of a professional sports team. Helping others and being around sports will be a great fit for Bryce. In his leisure he also enjoys fishing, boating, and napping. The napping probably ensues after he downs a plate of his favorite ribs. Outside of baseball, Bryce is a decorated student have been named at one time the class president. Bryce thanks his dad for the past entirety of his life for being his role model. From coaching, teaching, to just supporting him. Bryce told us that when he looks down the road 30 years, he wants his life to mirror that of his father’s and everything his father has accomplished. Bryce, we’re going to miss the positive spirit, the joyful laugh, and the big heart you shared with us over these past years. Good Luck to you moving forward 21! Everyone, join me in congratulating Bryce Hanmann!

Our final senior to honor is Natalie Haen. Natalie is a hardworking and motivated player. She is selfless and always puts the team first. Her sophomore year the team was in need of a goalkeeper; Natalie stepped up into the role even though she had no prior experience. This position can be very difficult to play but Natalie was fearless in that position and put in a lot of work to continuously improve. Her strong work ethic led her to being voted the hardest worker on the team the past two seasons and being selected as honorable mention all-conference. Her selflessness and leadership will be missed.

Today we are honoring senior Ally Zimmerman. Ally is a hard working player that always gives 100% when she’s out on the field. Throughout her high school career she improved and became more aggressive and confident throughout each season. She is the definition of a true team player and was always supporting her teammates whether she was on the field or sidelines. She knows the meaning of being a part of a team and creating a family like atmosphere. She has stepped up as a leader and was always welcoming to the younger players. Her kindheartedness and hard work will be missed.

Today we are honoring Madilyn VandenBush, the first of our three seniors. During her soccer career, Madi has overcome a lot of obstacles but has maintained a positive attitude. Right before her junior season she tore her ACL. However, she did not let this stop her from being a part of a sport she loves. Madi put in a lot of hard work to rehab and get ready to play again. The coaches were very impressed with Madi’s work ethic this off-season and the positive role model she became for the other players. Unfortunately, Madi tore her ACL again right before her senior season of soccer was supposed to start. Once again she remained positive and immediately said she still wanted to be a part of the team as a manager this year. Sitting on the bench watching teammates play can be difficult but I think this shows a lot about Madi’s character that she was willing to still be there for her teammates. Madilyn's positive personality will be greatly missed next year.

Luxemburg-Casco athletes can have a familiar face to work out with online.

Coach Tyler Hammond has started a Facebook page to post workouts for athletes to get workouts done at home. The page will also include the accomplishments and achievements of other Spartans athletes. Hammond is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist at the Bellin Hospital Titletown Sports Medicine and Orthopedics Center in Green Bay.

 Jake has been playing baseball like many of his teammates since a young age, 6 to be exact. He played up until his 8th grade year and then took a brief hiatus in his first year of high school, but attributes missing that time and fun with his friends to getting back into it his sophomore year. Jake compiles all his fun and joy spent with fellow teammates on the field during practices and games as his fondest memory. He can’t put into words one exact moment, to him it was overall memory he’ll keep with him of the everyday camaraderie with his buddies. Jake wears the Spartan Jersey #9 and crept his way higher and higher up in the batting order last season leading him to an All-Conference Honorable Mention as an Outfielder. In his free time, when he isn’t working for McMahon’s Furniture, he enjoys a good Joe Rouer’s burger with some friends. We are going to miss the energy this young man provides us everyday. Here’s to the guy who never seems to stop smiling. Congratulations Jake, we wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

We honor Trenton who was looking to step on the field this year after taking off last season to recover from an ACL Surgery. He admits its one of the toughest things he’s accomplished in his life to date. Recovery was a year of hard work and determination which prepared him for the field this spring. Trenton loves baseball and started playing at the young age of 6 to be a part of a team and play with his friends. His fondest baseball memory he recalls is the first homerun he smashed in little league and the cheering from family and friends as he rounded the bases. Growing up, Trenton credits his dad for teaching him the game and helping with throwing him batting practice in the cages, hitting him ground balls and playing catch. Trenton told us that his father is his role model and wants to mirror his work ethic as he moves on in life. Next Year Trenton will be enrolled into the Mechanical Engineering program at UW-Platteville. Trenton’s plans are to take his degree and get more involved in the field of satellites or rockets and one day work for NASA or SpaceX, and hopefully that is someplace warm he would like to add. Trenton, on behalf of the Luxemburg-Casco Baseball community, we thank you for your time and energy put into this program and wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

The 2000 Luxemburg-Casco girls cross country team was hungry after finishing the runner-up the year before.

Led once again by Mark Annoye, the Spartans watched current conference rival Oconto Falls run away with the 1999 title, beating the defending state champions 66-91.  It was an experienced team that ran the 2000 race, led by a fourth place finish by Abby Widmer (15:11), 20th place finish by Jessica Shefchik (15:44), 39th place for Stephanie Dantinne (16:00) and 41st place for Jessica Lemens (16:01). Freshman Rachel Porath rounded out the top five for state champions. Porath would later go on to be force for the school's girls' basketball program before starring at UW-Green Bay. The Spartans edged Pewaukee 81-86 to win their fifth state title.

After almost 10 years away from the podium, Luxemburg-Casco's girls cross country team finally got their name called last at the famed state cross country course in Wisconsin Rapids.

The girls ran a longer 4K course at this time and despite not having a single runner in the top 10 overall, it was the only team with all five of its scoring participants in the top 30. Abby Widmer led the way for the Spartans with a time of 15:29, good for 11th place overall. Stephanie Dantinne and Jessica Lemens finished back to back in 23rd and 24th place respectively with both breaking the 16-minute barrier. Six of its seven runners finished with a sub-17 minute time.

The 1989 state champion Luxemburg-Casco girls' cross country team featured some familiar faces, and not just because they were on the 1987 squad.

Led by Mark Annoye, Tracy Wendricks (15th, 12:28), Monica Thiry (48th, 13:00) and Ann Destiche (4th, 11:50) returned to bring the trophy back to Luxemburg after a year away. Destriche crushed her time from the last state championship, dropping her time by almost a minute to give the Spartans the coveted one spot for scoring teams. Three of its top five runners finished in the top-10 of title-eligible squads. There was plenty of family on the team as well with Destriche being joined by Joan (11th, 12:22) and the Stahl family was represented by Jenny and Becky.

Another Destriche, Mary, would win the individual title in 1990, but the team would finish as the runner-up to Mount Horeb. The Spartans beat second-place Verona in 1989 by a score of 85 to 97.

After coming up just shy of winning a second straight state title, the 1987 Luxemburg-Casco girls' cross country team was able to prevail once again.

During the drought, the Spartans reached the podium as a team in 1983 and Carrie Haen reached the summit as an individual a few years later. In 1987 it was a different Haen that led the charge with Leann Haen running a 12:15 on the 3200-meter course. All five scoring runners placed in the top 35 of team title contenders, with Tracy Wendricks (20th, 12:27), Ann Destiche (27th, 12:36) and Cleo Dorner (36th, 12:43) all breaking the 13-minute barrier. It would be the first of four Mark Annoye-led teams to win a state title.

Every cross country powerhouse needs a start, and for Luxemburg-Casco it was 1982.

Coached by Russell Fameree, the breakthrough came one year after the Spartans came in second place to Verona by just a mere five points. In a two mile race, the Spartans placed five runners in the top 20, blowing past their rivals from Verona 40-81. Sue Rabas paced the Spartans with a time an 11:46 to come in sixth, followed closely by Jill Stahl with a time of 11:56 to finish in tenth. The third-place finisher for the team was Carrie Haen, who would go on to win an individual state title in cross country in 1985.
