The Luxemburg-Casco girls soccer team is preparing for its season opener Tuesday, when the Spartans travel to face the Kohler Blue Bombers.

Last season, the Spartans finished 11-7-2, taking third in the Northeastern Conference with a 4-2-1 record. Potential returners this spring include first-team all-conference selections Emi Kuhn and Aaliyah Wallace.

Speaking at last week's Spring Sports Preview at the Rendezvous of Luxemburg, head coach Blair Bandow said it was a blessing to have so many seniors come back into the fold to provide leadership on and off the pitch.

The Blue Bombers finished their 2025 campaign with a 1-0 loss to St. Mary Springs in the WIAA Regional Final. They went 11-6-1 last year and welcome two All-Big East selections back to their squad.

Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.

Luxemburg-Casco's Ezra Treml made the most of the team's lone indoor track meet with a win at Manitowoc Lincoln's Earl Herbert Boy's Invite.

His personal-best time of 4:55.06 in the 1600m was good for first overall with Zach Tassoul joining him in the Top 10 with an eighth place finish. All four of their relays and 10 others posted Top 10 performances with Jonathan Salentine's narrowly missing out on his own event win in the pole vault with a personal best of 11 feet.

After listing off other programs he was in talks with such as Wisconsin, Northwestern, Princeton, and Army, he said he had a great connection with the coaches and that it felt like family with the guys.

Neubert just wrapped up his junior season, going 54-1 on the year and undefeated against in-state opponents. With a high school record of 164-8, Neubert told the Kewaunee County Wrestling Podcast earlier this year is that he is going for the state's all-time victory record of 212 wins.

Another athletic season has come to an end for the Luxemburg Casco Spartans at the hands of the Plymouth Panthers, as the Panthers used a strong second half to pull away from LC in a 66-52 game that was heard on 104.1 WRLU. 

Plymouth controlled the opening tip and went to Kayden Schultz right away who put the Panthers in front with a trip to the free throw line.  Jacob Coisman answered back by hitting a three pointer to give the Spartans a brief lead.  The lead went back and forth for much of the half with neither team able to pull away significantly.  Tatem Klaubauf sank a triple in the closing moments of the half to trim the Plymouth advantage to four points, but a layup at the buzzer sent the Panthers to the locker room up 26-20.  

Plymouth scored on its opening possession to increase the lead up to 8, but the Spartans fought back.  Eli Derenne ignited a 6-0 run to close the gap, but the Panthers answered with a run of their own.  Luxemburg Casco turned to Coisman throughout much of the second, and he facilitated the Spartans offense as the team managed one more comeback. Each time LC got within striking distance though, Charlie Knass seemed to have an answer, part of a 13 point second half. Despite its best efforts, the Spartans ran out of gas and Plymouth pulled away in the late stages of the game for the win. 

Knass led all scorers with 19 points, well above his 7.2 average points per game. Also in double figures for the Panthers was Augie Eigenberger who finished with 12, and Kayden Schultz who finished well below his per game average with 10 points. 

For the Spartans, Coisman's 17 points led the way in the loss.  Tatem Klaubauf added 11. 

Luxemburg Casco's season concludes with a much improved final record of 16-10, surpassing the combined win total of the past three seasons.  The Spartans will graduate 4 seniors, Mason Burmeister, Mason Trimberger, Brady Yunk, and Myles Jandrain. 

Plymouth will travel to West De Pere for the WIAA Division 2 Regional Final. 

Two schools very familiar with each other are set to do battle for yet another postseason matchup when Luxemburg Casco travels south to face the Plymouth Panthers on 104.1 WRLU. 

The Spartans managed to hold off Green Bay West in the opening round of tournament play earlier this week, taking down the Wildcats 53-52.  Ethan Ropson led the way with 16 points in the win. 

Plymouth received a first round bye into the regional semifinals, after a 17-7 regular season.  The Panthers dropped its regular season finale, 53-52 to a top ranked Port Washington team, but had won 10 in a row prior to that game. The Spartans will be tasked with trying to slow down Kayden Schultz who leads Plymouth in scoring, averaging 27.4 points per game. 

Eric Fischer will have the call from Plymouth High School, with the pregame show kicking off at 6:45pm with tipoff to follow at 7:00pm.  

NEC Champion Luxemburg-Casco placed 10 boys and one girl on its All-Conference teams, led by 144-lb state champion Carson Neubert.

State medalist Joseph Jeanquart joined Neubert as an unanimous selection while Zaender Schoenebeck, Mason Boulanger, Logan Ellwanger, and Linken Bastien were also First-Team honorees. Coy Anderson, Josiah Bastien, Cayden Zehren, and Calvin Henderson were named to the Second-Team.

It took all 36 minutes for a winner to be decided, but after all was said and done, Luxemburg Casco took down Green Bay West to advance in the WIAA Playoffs, winning 53-52 as heard on 104.1 WRLU. 

The Spartans got behind early, as the Wildcats got out to an early 9-2 advantage.  Slowly but surely, LC clawed back into the contest, eventually grabbing a 13-12 lead. The lead ping ponged back and forth, as both teams traded makes.  Luxemburg Casco went on an 8-0 run to grab a 23-16 lead, only to see Green Bay West go on a 7-0 run to tie the game once again.  In the closing seconds of the first half, Ethan Ropson launched and connected on a deep three, giving the Spartans a 26-23 advantage at the break.  

Both teams came out of the locker room with strong starts, scoring on their early possessions.  Luxemburg Casco was able to build the lead to as high as 8 points through the half, led by Ropson's 12 second half points.  The Wildcats refused to go away, getting some timely buckets from Alston Metoxen and Bryson Thao. With the game tightening up, Green Bay West was forced to foul, but the Spartans struggled from the charity stripe in the late going, allowing the Wildcats to close the gap. Ethan Ropson once again came in the clutch, splitting a trip at the line but giving LC a four point lead.  Metoxen went down the floor and hit a three but it was too late, as the Spartans did not need to inbound the ball, holding on for the win.  

Ropson led the way for Luxemburg Casco with 15 points, with Jacob Coisman adding 9 points.  Metoxen led all scorers in the game with 21 points.  

The Spartans advance to the WIAA Regional Semifinals, and will travel to Plymouth on Friday evening.  

The "Road to the Kohl Center" starts tonight for the Luxemburg Casco Spartans boys basketball team, when it hosts Green Bay West on 104.1 WRLU. 

Luxemburg Casco had a resurgent regular season under head coach Mitch Jandrin in his first full season as the leader of the Spartans.  The team went 15-9 on the campaign, including a stretch of winning 7 in a row. The final win in that streak was against tonight's opponent, the Green Bay West Wildcats, a 69-47 takedown of the Bay Conference opponent. In that contest, the Spartans had three double digit scorers, Bryce Piesler, Jacob Coisman, and Mason Burmeister. 

Green Bay West comes into tonight's contest with a 1-22 record, earning the 11 seed in the WIAA Division 2 playoffs. It's one win came against Green Bay East, a 62-42 victory in mid February.  The Wildcats were led by Alston Metoxen, who averaged 19.5 points per game. 

Eric Fischer and Ramsay Thompson will have the call of tonight's action, with the pregame show at 6:40 and tipoff at 7:00 pm.
