The undefeated Luxemburg-Casco Spartans left little doubt early who was the dominant team on Friday night, cruising to a 49-7 victory over the Waupaca Comets in Division 3 Level 2 football playoff action in Luxemburg.    

After going three-and-out in their first series, the Spartans connected on a 27-yard pass from Owen DePrez to Max Ronsman to take a 7-0 lead with 8:56 left in the first quarter.  L-C would score twice more in the first stanza on a 5-yard jet sweep by Ryan Routhieaux and a 12-yard gallop by Isaac VandenBush to take a commanding 21-0 lead after one quarter.

VandenBush would add two more rushing touchdowns of 10 and 38 yards in the second quarter, and DePrez added a 45-yard TD run as the rout was on at 42-0 at halftime.

With second-line players in for the Spartans on defense to start the second half, Waupaca scored on a one yard-run by quarterback Luke Schwen for the Comets only points of the night in the third quarter.

Ronsman, the Spartan’s backup quarterback, finished off the scoring with a 1-yard run as the Spartans dominated the line of scrimmage all night long on both sides of the ball.

In a seesaw affair that tested the undefeated Luxemburg-Casco Spartans, a late score sealed a 40-34 victory over the Ashwaubenon Jaguars at the Luxemburg Casco Sports Complex in a Division 3 Level 1 WIAA football playoff.  

The #1 seeded Spartans were able to prevail over the #8 seeded Jaguars, despite not having star running back Isaac VandenBush.  Back-up Evan Dorner scored two rushing touchdowns, including a 42-yard scamper with just 2:33 left in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.  

The Spartans trailed for the first time this year in the fourth quarter 28-27, when quarterback Owen Deprez hit Logan Doell for a 36-yard strike with 8:34 left in the game.

The Jaguars fought back numerous times in the game to give the Spartans all they could handle. 

Ashwaubenon came back to tie the game twice in the first half before Deprez connected with Doell on a big 60 yard touchdown pass with 2:35 left until intermission, giving L-C a 20-14 lead at halftime.

A touchdown pass from DePrez to Ryan Routhieaux from 25 yards halfway through the third quarter gave the Spartans a 27-14 lead.

Ashwaubenon would score twice more, taking the lead with 11:42 left in the game.  That set the stage for the heroics by Deprez and Doell. 

The Jaguars did manage to score late to cut the lead to 40-34, but Evan Dorner recovered the ensuing onside kick with :42 left to secure the emotional and gritty win for the Spartans.

Luxemburg-Casco (10-0) will now move on to play host to Waupaca in Level 2 playoff action next Friday, as the#4 Comets defeated #5 Portage 35-8.

The road to a third straight title begins at home for the Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team.

The Spartans captured the NEC last week with a 3-0 win over Fox Valley Lutheran before winning all eight sets they played across four matches in their home invite on Saturday. The Mustangs took five sets to steal away the victory from Denmark in their tournament opener on Tuesday. The Spartans swept the Mustangs in their NEC matchup earlier this year.

Match time is set for 7 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team hopes the switch will flip on Thursday when they face Plymouth in tournament play. 

The Spartans have won only twice across their last 11 matches. After beating Kewaunee 5-1, the Spartans went on to lose their final two regular-season matches. Plymouth comes into the afternoon on an 11-match winning streak. That includes a perfect 6-0 conference mark.

The first touch is set for 4 p.m.

In a warm-up to the WIAA tournament, the Luxemburg-Casco Spartans dominated the court on Saturday in Luxemburg at the Spartan Invite.  The Spartans won the championship with a win over Appleton East in the finals.

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans finished the regular season with a perfect 9-0 record and claimed the North Eastern Conference Friday night with an impressive 42-21 win over the Denmark Vikings.

A packed Luxemburg-Casco Sports Complex had an electric atmosphere that featured a senior night for 10 Spartan players who were honored after the game with an emotional speech by Coach Neil Seering.

The Spartans struck first on a 10-yard run by Max Rosman with 3:22 left in the first quarter to gain a 7-0 advantage.  Denmark then responded with a 2-yard touchdown run by Kenneth Satori after a long kick-off return to knot up the score at 7-7.  L-C would come right back with a 43-yard touchdown run by Ryan Routhieaux to take a 14-7 lead into the second quarter.

Denmark would capitalize on a fumbled snap deep in Spartan territory on an Elijah Shefchik 5-yard run to tie up the score at 14-14 with 3:02 left in the half.  Again, the Spartans drove the field to score on a 4-yard run by Isaac VandenBush to take a 21-14 lead into intermission. 

VandenBush would score his second of three touchdowns for the night coming out of halftime on a 19-yard scamper.  That gave the Spartans a commanding 28-14 lead that they would never relinquish.

Evan Dorner scored on a 30-yard run late in the third quarter to give the Spartans their biggest lead of the night at 35-14.

Luxemburg-Casco (7-0, 9-0 overall) recorded their first undefeated season and NEC championship since 2016 and now will await the seeding for the WIAA Division III playoffs where they should garner a number one seed and a first-round home game next Friday.

 Matt Piesler and Paul Schmitt will have the call starting at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show and kick-off set for 7 pm on 96.7FM WBDK.  The game audio can also be streamed on the NewRadioSportsRadioNetwork.com.

The Luxemburg-Casco girls volleyball defended its North Eastern Conference Championship Thursday evening by sweeping the Fox Valley Lutheran Foxes three games to none in Appleton.  The Spartans won in a strong performance with wins of 25-18, 25-21,  and 25-20.  Emma Johnson had another big match with 39 assists, five digs, and two blocks.  Autumn Flynn added 15 kills and served three aces, while Grace Holschuh had 15 kills as well and made six digs.  Brook Vande Hei provided a great defense with 18 digs as the Spartans were able to answer every time Fox Valley Lutheran went on a run.  Luxemburg-Casco will now get ready for tournament play and another potential third straight run for a state championship. 

The undefeated Luxemburg-Casco Spartans will look to finish the regular season perfect and claim the sole North Eastern Conference title Friday night against the Denmark Vikings.  The Spartans (6-0, 8-0 overall) are coming off a convincing 28-10 win over Freedom last week.  Denmark beat Xavier 33-6 and would tie L-C for the title with a win.  It will be senior night at the Luxemburg-Casco Sports Complex as the Spartans look to salute 10 outgoing senior players who will be playing their last regular-season game at home.  Matt Piesler and Paul Schmitt will have the call starting at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show and kick-off set for 7 pm on 96.7FM WBDK.  The game audio can also be streamed on the NewRadioSportsRadioNetwork.com. 

You can listen to an interview with Coach Neil Seering here. 

It has come down to one final match before the tournament to decide the best team in the Northeastern Conference for volleyball.

Luxemburg-Casco is ranked second in the state in Division two and the winners of their last 11 matches. That includes a perfect 5-0 mark at last weekend's tournament in De Pere. Fox Valley Lutheran have the better record but are ranked sixth in the state according to Wisconsin Volleyball Coaches Association. A 3-2 loss to Xavier on August 31st is the lone blemish on the Foxes' record, having dropped only set since.

The opening serve is set for 7 p.m. at Fox Valley Lutheran.

The Luxemburg Casco Spartans boys’ soccer scored the first goal Tuesday night, but could not hang on for a victory as the Fox Valley Lutheran Foxes prevailed 3-1 in North Eastern Conference action.

The Spartans scored at the twelve-minute mark on a John Amador goal, only to see the Foxes respond with a goal from Blake Maxwell to tie the match at 1-1.

The Foxes would add two more goals, one each by Austin Kerbs and Jona Schmitz to pull away late for the victory.  Matthew Ledvina had nine save in the net for the Spartans as Nathan Hempel for the Foxes only had to provide one save during the match.

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team hopes to find some consistency when it hosts Fox Valley Lutheran on Tuesday.

The Spartans had one of their best efforts last week when it beat Kewaunee 6-1 on the lakeshore. That however was sandwiched between a pair of shutouts to Sheboygan Christian and Sturgeon Bay where they lost by a combined score of 17-0. The Foxes have not fared much better as they got shut out last week by the likes of Pulaski and Neenah.

Game time is set for 6:30 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco cross country teams celebrated their seniors in style with an impressive showing at their Russ Fameree Invitational last Friday.

The 50th Annual Russ Fameree Cross Country Classic featured 17 schools in attendance with the Spartans boys placing fourth, the girls taking 3rd and both JV teams winning first place. Gabe Havel took fourth overall to lead the boys with a time of 17:35 on the 5K course. Lydia Morozov ran a personal-record 22:10 to pace the girls squad.

The Spartans are hosting the NEC CC Meet this Friday, October 15th at Northbrook as well.

The undefeated Luxemburg-Casco Spartans claimed at least a share of the North Eastern Conference title on Friday night with a 28-10 win over the Freedom Irish.  The Spartans controlled the ball and used a stingy defense to prevail.

Luxemburg-Casco struck first on a 1-yard run by running back Isaac VandenBush with 2:28 left in the first quarter to give the Spartans a 7-0 lead.  Quarterback Owen Deprez followed that up with an 11-yard run with 2:04 left in the second quarter to extend the Spartan lead to 14-0.  

Freedom was able to score a field goal with under a minute in the half to cut the L-C lead to 14-3 at halftime.  The Irish were able to cut the lead early in the third quarter on a 47-yard pass completion to make the score 14-10, but the Spartans responded on their next possession as VandenBush scored on a 10-yard run with 7:05 left in the third quarter to take a 21-10 lead.

Deprez capped off the scoring with a 5-yard run with 8:11 left in the game to seal the victory for the Spartans.

The Spartans (6-0, 8-0 overall) can clinch an outright conference title with a win over Denmark at home next Friday.   Matt Piesler and Paul Schmitt will have the call starting at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show and kick-off set for 7 pm on 96.7FM WBDK.  The game audio can also be streamed on the NewRadioSportsRadioNetwork.com.  

It is the return to Northbrook Golf Course after a few years away for the cross country team and its signature invitational.

COVID called off last year's Russ Fameree Invitational and course conditions moved the race to the athletic complex where runners had to start on the blacktop of the parking lot before running around the football, softball, and baseball field and finally finishing in an adjacent field. Head coach Katie Waege reflected on what makes the course special last month. 

Algoma, Chilton, Coleman, N.E.W. Lutheran, Howards Grove, Kewaunee, Kiel, Manitowoc Lutheran, Mishicot, New Christian Home, Oconto, Oconto Falls, Providence Academy, Reedsville, Roncalli, Sevastopol, Sheboygan Lutheran, Southern Door, Sturgeon Bay, Suring, Two Rivers, and Valley Christian are also racing in Friday's invite beginning at 3:45 p.m. 

The seniors on the Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team celebrated their special night on a familiar note with a 3-0 win over Marinette.

The Spartans did not even allow the Marines to reach double digits until the third set, winning the match 25-9, 25-8, 25-11. Leading the way for the Spartans were Emma Johnson (16 assists, 4 Kills), Michaela Freise (9 assists, 5 aces), Grace Holschuh (9 kills) and Cami Onell (8 kills). 

"It was a great night in our gym being able to honor our amazing seniors, " said head coach Jeff Frey after the victory.  "The win also sets up a winner take all next Thursday at Fox Valley Lutheran, which is all you can ask for, we are looking forward for the challenge."

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team will try to stay focused ahead of next week's de facto championship match against Fox Valley Lutheran when it plays at home against Marinette Thursday night.

It has been almost two years since the Spartans last dropped a set in the Northeastern Conference, staying perfect when it beat Freedom 3-0 earlier this week. The Marines are capturing sets here and there, but have not won a match since September 25th when it beat Sheboygan Falls 2-1 in tournament play for its only victory.

Opening service is set for 7 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans stayed perfect in the North Eastern Conference Tuesday night with a 3-0 sweep of the Freedom Irish in Freedom.  L-C took game one 25-13, and follow up with a 25-15 and 25-22 close match in game three to earn the sweep.  The Spartans were led by Emma Johnson with a great floor game of 31 assists, seven digs, and two aces.  Kylie Hanson added 12 kills and three blocks, Grace Holschuh had ten kills, 10 digs, and three aces, and Brooke Vande Hei contributed ten digs and two aces.  Luxemburg-Casco (25-5 overall, 7-0) will now host Marinette on Thursday night.  

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team hopes to stay perfect in NEC play when they travel south to Freedom on Tuesday.

The Spartans come into the match on a four match winning streak and haven't dropped a set since September 18th against Franklin. The Irish went 3-1 in its recent tournament at Wrightstown. Its lone blemish was a 2-0 loss to Hilbert.

Opening serve is set for 7 p.m.

Luxemburg-Casco's Lydia Vandenhouten can punch a ticket to state on Tuesday with a strong round of golf on Tuesday at Hilly Haven Golf Course.

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team broke its losing streak with a convincing win over neighboring Kewaunee.

The Spartans' Rigoberto Caseres registered a hat trick and Zak Patek had a pair of goals for the Spartans in the win over the Storm. The Spartans peppered Storm goalkeeper Henry Annen with multiple shots, who still managed to make 12 saves in the contest. 

Teagan Shaw scored the lone goal for Kewaunee on a penalty kick.

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans kept their perfect record intact with an impressive 35-6 win over the Kingsford Flivvers Friday night in North Eastern Conference football.  It did not take the Spartans long to get on the board as Sam Peterson intercepted a pass and returned it 24 yards for a touchdown just over a minute into the game.

After another Kingsford turnover, Owen Deprez hit Logan Doell for an 18-yard strike with 1:45 left in the first quarter to give the Spartans a 14-0 lead.

Kingsford scored on a five-yard run by Diego Przeslakowski to close the score to 14-6 after the missed extra point, but that was as close as the Flivvers would get the rest of the way.

Deprez added a seven-yard run with 5:47 left in the half to give the Spartans a 21-7 that they took into halftime.

Isaac Vandenbush had another big night rushing night as he capped off the scoring with two short runs in the third quarter of one and two yards, respectively.  He now has 42 career touchdowns, improving the school record he broke last week.

Luxemburg-Casco (5-0, 7-0 overall) will travel now to Freedom next Friday night in an NEC showdown.
