Spartans head football coach Neil Seering announced on Thursday it would host contact days from July 19th to July 22nd with a possible team-building activity taking place on the 23rd. Parents and community members are invited for a "Meet and Greet" event on July 22nd with a practice taking place from 4-6 p.m. and a scrimmage from 6-7 p.m. 

The team would have a week off before being able to officially pass out equipment on August 2nd and have their first practice on August 3rd. 

The doors to a football career after high school are opening up for Luxemburg-Casco's Lucas Cannon.

The senior tweeted out earlier this week that the University of Minnesota-Duluth offered him the opportunity to play football at the school. The offer came after participating at a number of different camps this summer held at UMD, North Dakota State, North Dakota, Lafayette College, and the University of St. Thomas. 

After a great camp today I’m excited to announce I have received my first offer to play football at the University of Minnesota Duluth! @UMD_Football @CoachWiese @CoachHeikkinen @CoachStegerUMD @CoachSeeringLC @alex_wendorf73 pic.twitter.com/xfCyql3Szn
