Peyton Mrotek led the Spartans with 13 points and Jack Rollin and Owen Deprez added 8 points each, but it was not enough to take down the NEC leading, undefeated Foxes (10-0, 13-2 overall).

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartan won an overtime 61-60 nail-biter over the Waupaca Comets in a North Eastern Conference game Tuesday night.  Peyton Mrotek’s free throw with :01 left in overtime sealed the victory for the Spartans.

The Spartans jumped off to a 12-3 lead early on, only to see Waupaca tie the game at 16-16 and eventually take a 30-28 advantage at halftime on a last-second layup by Luke Schwen. 

The score see-sawed several times in the second half as the final minute of regulation had Waupaca holding the ball for the last shot with the score of 56-56.  A missed layup by Evan Bogard sent the game into overtime and gave the Spartans a second life.

In the overtime, Waupaca held a two-point lead with over a minute left when Jacob Parins hit two clutch free throws for the Spartans to tie the game up at 60-60.

Again Waupaca chose to hold the ball for the final shot and nearly turned the ball over on a held ball in the backcourt with :11 left.  The possession arrow was to the Comets and after a timeout, the inbound was eventually stolen by Mrotek with :04 at midcourt.  Mrotek drove in for a layup and was fouled with :01 left.  After missing the first free throw and a timeout by Waupaca, Mrotek calmly sank the game-winning free throw and a desperation heave by Waupaca was off the mark giving the Spartans the victory. 

Mrotek had a monster floor game with 30 points and connecting on 10 of 16 from the charity stripe.  Evan Dahlke added nine points with three three-pointers. 

 Waupaca falls to 3-6 in the NEC and 4-9 overall.   The Spartans (4-5, 6-7 overall) will now look for their third straight win on Friday as they host the conference-leading Fox Valley Lutheran Foxes.

Matt Piesler and Paul Schmitt will have the call with the pregame set for 6:30 pm on 96.7 FM WBDK and tip off shortly after 7 pm from Luxemburg-Casco High School. The game will also be streamed on New Radio Sports Network.

You can listen to the interview with L-C Coach Tyler Thrune here.  

The Luxemburg-Casco girls basketball team will head out on the road for five consecutive games starting with a trip to Oconto Falls to take on the Panthers Thursday night.  The Lady Spartans are coming off a 46-38 win over Algoma on Tuesday in a non-conference matchup.  Luxemburg-Casco (4-4, 5-8 overall) is looking to get over .500 in the North Eastern Conference while Oconto Falls (5-3, 7-5 overall) is coming off a 55-50 win over Denmark earlier this week.  

Luxemburg-Casco wrestling will be hosting a varsity dual match against Little Chute and Coleman on Thursday.  The Spartans, ranked second in Division 2, will match up against the Mustangs and Cougars starting at 5 pm.  The matches were moved up an hour.  Coleman is ranked number one in Division 3, and the match between Luxemburg-Casco and Little Chute will be their Conference Dual.  

On a special evening at the Luxemburg-Casco High School Tuesday, the Lady Spartans of Luxemburg-Casco prevailed over a determined Algoma Wolves team 46-38 in non-conference girls’ basketball. 

The game started slowly as Algoma led 2-0 in the first three minutes, only to see Luxemburg-Casco score seven straight points to take a 7-2 lead.  The Wolves responded with five straight to tie it up and set the stage for a see-saw affair all night long.

Both teams battled turnovers forced by full-court pressure but managed to be tied at 18-18 with one minute left in the half when the Wolves scored five straight to go into intermission with a 23-18 lead.

&;

In the second half, the Spartans and Wolves fought hard and the game stayed close until the final three minutes.  Key free throws by Maggie Hanmann and a clutch three-pointer by Gabby Wech sealed the game for the Spartans.

Taylor Thiry led the Spartans with 13 points, while Hanmann added 12 and Wech chipped in 11.

Algoma was led by Ryley Zimmerman with 13 points and Halle Panger’s 12 points before she fouled out. 

The game featured Algoma Coach Mark Zastrow coaching against his former star player Taylor Braedel-Schmidt.  It was also the first time Algoma and L-C played against each other since 2014. 

An emotional halftime program called “Take Down Cancer” had both teams remain on the court as the communities of Algoma and Luxemburg-Casco came together to help raise awareness and funds for families fighting cancer.  Names of people impacted by cancer were read and over $2500 was raised during a one-minute fundraiser in the stands.

The next broadcast on 96.7FM WBDK and New Radio Sports Network will be on Friday night as the Luxemburg-Casco boys host the Wrightstown Tigers.  Matt Pielser and Paul Schmitt will have the call starting at 6:35 with tip-off shortly after 7 pm. 

The Luxemburg-Casco boys' basketball hopes to get back into the win column on Tuesday night when they meet Denmark on the road.

The Spartans could not overcome a fierce Freedom Irish squad on Thursday night and fell 60-42 in a North Eastern Conference game in Luxemburg. Peyton Mrotek continues to be a three-tool player leading the team in points and assists and a runner-up in the rebounding category behind Lucas Cannon. The Vikings hold a 5-1 NEC mark after blowing out Wrightstown in the second half to win their last game 82-42. The Vikings are led by Green Bay recruit Donavan Short who is averaging over 22 points a game and nine rebounds a game. 

Tip is set for 7:00 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartan girls basketball team will host the Algoma Wolves Tuesday night in a non-conference matchup.  The Spartans (4-4, 4-7 overall) of the North Eastern Conference played Monday at Ashwaubenon, while Algoma is coming off a 54-32 victory last Friday against Sturgeon Bay in Packerland Conference play. 

In Monday's game, the Spartans kept it close in the first half before being outscored 41-14 after the break in its 61-30 loss to Ashwaubenon. The Jaguars controlled Lauren Adams in the game but allowed Taylor Thiry to tally 18 points in the loss. 

Taylor Thiry and Lauren Adams lead the Spartans in scoring averaging 17.6 and 13.4 points per game, respectively.  Algoma is led by Ryley Zimmerman who is scoring 10.8 points per game. 

The game will be broadcast on 96.7 FM  WBDK and streamed on New Radio Sports Network.  Matt Piesler and Paul Schmitt will have the call starting at 6:30 pm with the pregame show with tip off scheduled for 7 pm.

The Luxemburg-Casco girls' basketball team will open their week with a make-up game.

The Spartans travel to Ashwaubenon Monday to make up its game from last month. Lauren Adams poured in 20 points and Taylor Thiry added 16 in the Spartans' 58-31 win over Marinette on Friday. That snapped a two-game losing streak for the Spartans.

The Jaguars have been a streaky team so far this season, but have won their last four games this year after beating Green Bay Preble 50-32 on Friday. Balanced scoring is the name of the game for the Jaguars with three players averaging at least seven points a game.

The opening tip is set for 7 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartan boys’ basketball team could not overcome a fierce Freedom Irish squad on Thursday night and fell 60-42 in a North Eastern Conference game in Luxemburg.  The Spartans started slowly as Freedom jumped to an 11-1 lead in the first three minutes.  Rallying by going on a 21 to 11 run, the Spartans were able to tie the game up at 22-22.  Freedom responded with a run of their own finishing the half with a three-pointer by Blake Kortz to take a 29-23 lead into halftime. 

The Irish came out on fire in the second half and put L-C away early by forcing numerous turnovers and converting on transition baskets to build up an insurmountable lead.

Freedom was led by Landon VanCalster with 20 points, with 15 coming in the decisive second half.  Kortz added 17 including a slam dunk to open the scoring in the game.   The Spartans’ Peyton Mrotek scored 21 points while Jack Rollins added nine more, but it was not enough to overcome the Irish.(5-1. 9-2 overall).
