The Luxemburg-Casco boys' basketball team erased a four-point deficit at the break to beat Marinette on the road 55-49. 

Chase Bukouricz hit a trio of three-pointers to lead the Spartans in scoring with 17 points. Caleb Blohowiak took a different route, scoring all 15 of his points from inside the arc and the free throw line. 

Sam Sommerfeldt led the way for the Marines with 21 points while Henry Bailey and Dominic Smerchek each added nine points in the loss. 

The Luxemburg-Casco girls' basketball team doubled up Oconto Falls in the first half and did not look back in a 43-29 win on Tuesday night.

Brianna Bray and Gabriella Wech paced the Spartans in the first half with each coring seven points. Bray would go on to add another 10 points after the break to score a game-high 17 points. Several others would get into the scorebook with at least two points.

Ashlynn Allen led the Panthers with nine points in the loss, but both teams took home a W off the court. Both teams raised important funds to support special education programming at both schools. 

Two NEC rivals will face off against each other in Luxemburg for a good cause on Tuesday.

Luxemburg-Casco has opened the season 0-2 on the season after losing to Algoma and Marinette in consecutive games. Magdeline Hanmann, Sami Treml, and Gabrielle Wech are all averaging in double figures for the Spartans. The Spartans are looking to close games better moving forward, as they are being outscored 67-48 in the second half after holding a seven-point advantage against their opponents in the opening period.

Oconto Falls are a perfect 2-0 after using a 12-point lead to their advantage to beat Little Chute in their last game 41-29. The Panthers are led by Ashlynn Allen, who is averaging 11.5 points per game.

The Luxemburg-Casco and Oconto Falls Girl's Basketball Teams are bringing awareness and support to their Best Buddies and Special Education Departments at each school. There will be a 50/50 raffle and a “Minute to Win It” dash to collect donations during halftime of the varsity game. Tuesday’s activities will start with the JV game at 5:45 pm, with the varsity game at about 7:15 pm in the Luxemburg-Casco Gymnasium.

The Luxemburg Casco Spartans boys’ basketball team will look to bounce back from their opening loss to the Kewaunee Storm as they begin NEC play against the Marinette Marines. 

The Spartans were not able to stop the guard play of Kewaunee, including junior guard Thomas Stangel who ended up scoring 21 on the night. Luxemburg Casco hung around for a while, but the Storm were too strong for the Spartans, who were playing their first game after losing an exodus of players from their past senior class. The Spartans will shift their attention to Marinette, who they were able to have their way with last season winning all three matchups by 10 or more. 

Marinette has not played a game yet this season, as they are opening up with conference play against the Spartans. The Marines will retain their second leading scorer from last season, as Sam Sommerfeldt averaged 10.2 points per game in 25 games played last season. Marinette struggled at times in the past season, going 6-19, but hope to turn that around starting against the Spartans. 

Tip is scheduled for 7:00 P.M. in Marinette 

The Luxemburg-Casco girls basketball team could not hold onto their six-point half time lead in their 57-50 defeat to Marinette on Tuesday.

Gabby Wech paced the Spartans with 10 first-half point en route to a 16 point night. That helped the Spartans go into the breakup 23-17. Wech would score six in the second half while Sami Wech hit the bulk of her 11 of her field throws in the second half to finish the night with 13 points. 

Riley Kieffer led the Marines back into the mix and eventual win,  scoring all but four of her game-high 20 points in the back half of the matchup. 

The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans girls’ basketball team were stunned by the Algoma Wolves last Thursday. They will look to bounce back against conference foe Marinette on Tuesday night. 

After the 50-45 loss to Algoma, the Spartans had some time to get back to the drawing board before their matchup with the Marines. Junior Magdeline Hanmann led the way for Luxemburg-Casco as she put 11 points on the board, followed by Brianna Bray who scored 10. The loss of Taylor Thiry and Lauren Adams for the Spartans have been well documented, and showed up in the Spartans opener. 

The results for the Marines of Marinette have been a mixed bag so far, as they took a close loss in their season opener to Coleman 59-54, but then took down Peshtigo 50-40 on the road. Riley Kieffer has been a bright spot for the Marines so far this season, as she is averaging 22 points in her two games played on exactly 50% shooting from the field. 

Tip is scheduled for 7:00 in Marinette. 

Two teams that had strong showings last season will face off in the season opener as Luxemburg Casco will take on the Kewaunee Storm. 

The Spartans finished their season 13-13 with a loss to West De Pere ending their season in the second round of WIAA postseason. Luxemburg Casco was led by multiple seniors last season, as Peyton Mrotek and Evan Dahlke were both seniors and the Spartans leading scorers. There will have to be multiple underclassmen for the Spartans to step up and lead the team. Luxemburg-Casco was able to defeat this same Kewaunee Storm team last season by a score of 81-72. The Spartans will look to repeat that success. 

Kewaunee was a talented team as well last season, as they shared the title for the Packerland conference with Peshtigo with a conference record of 13-3. The Storm made their way all the way to the Sectional Semifinal matchup against eventual Sectional Champion Brillion. The Storm would lose that matchup 75-50, but ended their successful season with one of the deepest runs in the area. 

Tip is set for 7:00 in Luxemburg-Casco. 

The Luxemburg Casco Spartans had a solid season last year, and will look to improve on it despite losing their top scorers from a season ago. 

The Spartans relied on some of their seniors last season, as Peyton Mrotek, Evan Dahlke, and Owen Deprez to do the scoring for them as they were the top leading scorers on the team at 18.6, 10.2, and 7.9 respectively for each player. Jack Rollin could see himself stepping into one of those roles as a scorer, as he put in 6.5 a game last season in more of a supporting cast role. Now with those big time names gone, multiple Spartans will need to chip in to replace their production. 

L-C found themselves finishing the season at .500 exactly in NEC play at 9-9, and .500 overall at 13-13. The Spartans were knocked out of the playoffs in the second round by West De Pere, by a score of 86-75. Also look for Caleb Blohowiak to take a step up after putting in some quality minutes in the Spartans second round playoff matchup. 

Luxemburg Casco opens up their season by hosting the Kewaunee Storm on November 22nd. They open NEC play on the 29th as they travel to Marinette to take on the Marines. 

The season did not end as they wanted it to, but it still included multiple players from Luxemburg-Casco ending up on the WVCA All-State Team list.

Senior outside hitter Autumn Flynn earned Unanimous First Team All-State honors. She recently signed her National Letter of Intent to play volleyball at Memphis.

The Spartans girls basketball team may have lost their two leading scorers from last season, but some depth from last season's team could make Luxemburg-Casco successful again this year. 

Replacing Taylor Thiry and Lauren Adams will be difficult for the Spartans to do, but they can do it with multiple players, and not just plugging in one player for another. 14 players for LC scored a basket in game action, which shows the depth that this team could carry over to this season as well. A year of practice and growth for those players will only help Luxemburg Casco’s case. 

For the Spartans, it starts with some underclassmen potentially in Magdeline Hanmann and Gabrielle Wech to have some solid seasons, and have their teammates be solid beside them. It will be a team effort, but L-C could find themselves with another good season in the books. 

The Spartans begin their season in Algoma against the Wolves on Thursday November 17th. They open NEC play against Oconto Falls on the 29th. 

Like many of her past teammates on Luxemburg-Casco's state championship volleyball teams, Autumn Flynn will see her career extended for at least another four years.

Flynn signed her National Letter of Intent (NLI) on Wednesday to continue her career as a member of the Memphis Tigers. The New Franken middle hitter/outside hitter was named the NEC Co-Player of the Year and a member of the All-NEC First Team. Her senior season ended in the sectional semifinals against eventual state champion Xavier, but Flynn was a part of the Spartans dynasty that brought home three straight state titles. She was also a member of the All-State team in 2021.
