The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans soccer team found themselves on the right side of a see-saw battle Friday night, beating Seymour 2-1.

Johan Amador scored in the first half to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead they would carry into the second half. After the Thunder tied it up, Zak Patek put the Spartans back in front with a goal in the 68th minute, a tally that would prove to be the game-winner.

The Spartans are back in action Tuesday when they travel to Marinette for a 4 p.m. match.

With the football team playing on Thursday, the Luxemburg-Casco soccer team will have the homecoming lights all to itself Friday night when they host Seymour.

The Thunder have posted only two wins in nine tries during the month of September. In those games, they have been limited to one or fewer goals seven times, including five shutouts.

Taking the opening kick in the second half, the Spartans drove downfield and settled for a 28-yard field goal by Trace Shoenebeck to cut the lead to 14-10 for Freedom with 7:10 left in the third quarter.  The Spartans would then take the lead for the first time on a nine-yard touchdown scramble by Ronsman with 35 seconds left in the third quarter, making the score 17-14.

The Spartans struck quickly after a turnover on a 47-yard strike from Ronsman to Cameron Dorner making it 24-14 with 11:08 to go in the fourth quarter.

Freedom would mount a couple of long drives but were eventually turned away by the Spartan defense and two key penalties that called back two big plays by the Irish late in the game.

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team were pushed to the limit several times in their tournament run at Kettle Moraine High School over the weekend. The team went 4-2 over the weekend with five of their six matches going a full three sets. In tournament play, matches max out at three sets compared to the usual five a typical dual does.

Payton Kaminski showed off her defensive prowess with 88 digs and Alayna Deprez adding 42 digs, 84 assists, and 10 aces. Aubrey Frey posted 61 Kills and 36 digs while Ella Vender Velden posted 21 kills and 20 blocks.

Head coach Jeff Frey was proud of how his team battled their way to a 15-5 season record and how they reacted to adversity during the tournament. "It was a long two days, 5 of our 6 matches went to 3 sets.  I am proud of the fight our girls showed, they really battled and found a way to win in some tight, tough battles.  We faced some adversity with some injuries, and we need to continue to work and grow in how we handled adversity," Frey said.  

The Luxemburg-Casco cross country will end their week-long sabbatical from racing with an invitational in Manitowoc.

The Spartans last raced last Thursday at the De Pere Invitational hosted on the campus of UW-Green Bay. Kyan Lynts paced the boys with an 18:19 on the 5K course, taking 46th place overall. Claire DuChateau ran a personal record time of 21:10 to lead the Spartans in the girls' race, finishing in 21st place.

After losing a see-saw affair to Kewaunee last week, the Luxemburg-Casco football team hopes home-cooking does the trick when they play at home against New London.
