The Luxemburg-Casco Fishing Team's annual tournament in Sturgeon Bay will have a new name moving forward.

Earlier this week, the team announced that the tournament would be named in honor of Terry Peterson, a fishing guide and Freshwater Fishing Hall of Famer from Hayward, Wis., who passed away earlier this year. Peterson's son Patrick presented a team with a donation to the program at their July meeting. He also awarded team member Charlie Simonar with awards for winning the tournament and registering a big bass.

A pair of anglers from the Luxemburg-Casco Fishing Team was one of four sets to break the 20 pound barrier in this weekend's WI Bass Nation State Championships on the Chetek Chain.

Riliey Richards and John Hanmann caught nine fish for a two-day total of 20.09, trailing the first place team from Eau Claire by just over three pounds.

The Spartans' other pair of anglers, Charlie Simonar and Isaac Jerabek, finished the weekend of just short of 15 pounds on eight fish caught.

The Luxemburg-Casco Trap Team concluded their Sunday with an impressive showing at last weekend's National High School Trap Shooting Championships in Michigan.

Cole Anderson was the top finisher on the team with an 84th-place finish. Jacob DeGrave finished 94th, and Garrett Simonar finished 140th out of the 1,455 male shooters. As a team, the shooters hit 953 of 1000 clays they saw during the two day competition.

The postseason honors keep coming in for Southern Door's Christian Counard and Luxemburg-Casco's Owen Deprez.

The pair were named to the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association's All-State team as honorable mentions. Deprez, a junior, earned his spot as a pitcher while Counard, also a junior, garnered his honor as an outfielder. 

Deprez was the player of the year for the North Eastern Conference and a first-team performer while Christian Counard was an All-Packerland Conference first-team performer.

The Luxemburg-Casco Trap Team will try to build on their success last month at the state competition when they travel to Mason, Mich. for the USA High School Clay Target League National Championship Tournament this weekend.

Cole Anderson, Garrett Simonar, Phillip Simonar, Jacob DeGrave, and Trey Vincent are competing as a team and individually at the tournament.

Last month, the team took fifth place overall with Trey Vincent (97), Cole Anderson (96), Charlie Simonar (96), Jayden Stein (95), and Garrett Simonar (95) shooting 479 clay targets out of 500.

Garrett Simonar, Jacob DeGrave, Cole Anderson, Caleb Delebreau, Brandon Kratz, and Charlie Simonar earned All-State Honors for having the best averages during the spring season. 

Coach Taylor Bredael-Schmidt had one more opportunity last week to lead her two senior stalwarts from last year's squad.

Schmidt coached the WBCA Division 2 North All-Star team, which featured Lauren Adams and Taylor Thiry. According to the L-C Basketball Booster Club, Adams chipped in five points and Thiry scored four in the loss. 

Even more important the victory, the trio helped raise thousands of dollars for the MACC Fund, which supports children and families battling cancer.

Taylor Thiry, Lauren Adams, and Coach Taylor spent 3 days in WI Dells creating some lasting memories while representing Luxemburg-Casco Girls Basketball in the Senior All-Star Game.

Lauren Adams scored 5 points while Taylor Thiry added 4. Unfortunately, D2 North did not win however what Taylor and Lauren will remember most is meeting new people and being able to play a basketball game with them 2 days later.

What Coach Taylor will remember is the cause for which they play and coach for, the MACC Fund, coaching and learning alongside Nicky VanLaanen, and being able to coach some of the best D2 athletes, especially her two Seniors.

They are all thankful for the support of the community in helping them raise money to be able to participate.
