Head coach Jeff Frey said afterwards that while they were disappointed in the result, he was happy with the effort  and the overall play. "There are a lot of positives to take out of this match.  Hats off to Nate and his team, they made a few more plays than we did in the big moment."
 

Frey was also complimentary of the atmosphere provided by the fans for their Pink Out Night, which raises thousands of dollars every year for Ribbon of Hope, which has a mission is to be a financial, informational and emotional resource for individuals with breast cancer in Northeastern Wisconsin.

The offensive surge gave Luxemburg-Casco a comfortable cushion while goalkeeper Carson Koller continued his strong play, helping the Spartans secure the shutout.

Luxemburg Casco found the endzone early and often, as the Spartans rolled past Seymour for a 42-6 win on its Homecoming game, as heard on 104.1 WRLU. 

Eli Derenne continued a sensational season, scoring his first of three touchdowns on the third play of the game, scampering to the end zone from 59 yards out.  The Spartans defense forced a punt and marched down the field once again. This time Derenne connected with Joey Jeanquart through the air, with Jeanquart making a pair of Thunder defenders to score from 11 yards out.  Luxemburg Casco's defense forced a fumbled on Seymour's ensuing drive, taking over deep in Thunder territory. Moments later, Ben Klass punched in his first touchdown of the evening from 1 yard out in the closing seconds of the opening quarter to go up 21-0. Another defensive stop led to another Seymour punt, followed by Derenne's second score of the evening, this time for 33 yards. The Luxemburg Casco defense was able to force yet another punt, this time deep into Spartans territory, with the offense taking over at their own 10. LC got a couple big plays, methodically going down the field, and scoring on another Klass 1 yard touchdown.  Wyatt Bailey was perfect on PAT kicks, giving the Spartans a 35-0 lead, and running clock for the remainder of the contest. Luxemburg Casco took this score into the halftime Homecoming festivities which you can see below. 

With running clock for the entirety of the second half, the game moved quick. Seymour started the half with the ball, and was putting together its best drive of the game but a fumble got the Thunder backed up behind the chains and ultimately punting.  The Spartans offense kept the starters out for one more drive, capped off with Derenne completing the hat trick with a 20 yard score.  Seymour would get find the endzone, with Greg Salzman rushing from 28 yards out against the Spartans reserves late in the 4th. 

Luxemburg Casco head coach Neil Seering joined the broadcast, complimenting his team's efforts to put together a complete game and crediting the efforts of the lineman and the "Brotherhood of Belief" 

Homecoming week is here for Luxemburg-Casco, and the Spartans will host the Seymour Thunder in a crossover game between the Northeastern Conference and the Bay Conference, and we'll have the action on 104.1 WRLU.  

Luxemburg-Casco got back above .500 last week, after taking down the Wrightstown Tigers 24-6.  Eli Derenne starred once again for the Spartans, rushing for 135 yards and a score, and throwing for 90 yards and an additional touchdown. Ben Klass also exceeded the century mark with 106 yards and a touchdown carry.  

Seymour comes into the contest at 3-2, following a 42-6 defeat at the hands of Xavier.  Thunder running back Greg Salzman was held in check, limited to just 74 yards in the contest, but did throw for Seymour's lone touchdown, a 7-yard strike to Owen Linzmeyer on the team's lone completed pass of the game (per Bound WI) on a rainy Friday in the Fox Valley.  Salzman has been one of the top rushing threats, entering the game 5th in Division 4 with 702 yards for the season.  

Eric Fischer and Ramsay Thompson will have the call, with pregame coverage set to begin at 6:45, with kickoff to follow at 7:00 pm. 

It was another race and another win for Luxemburg-Casco's Ezra Treml and Claire DuChateau on Thursday, this time at the Jim Bremser Invitational in Mishicot.

Treml covered the 5K course in 16:40 to win the race by 16 seconds, beating out Kiel's Austin Helms, West De Pere's Zachary Natzke, and Appleton West's Kegan Phalin. Marcus Doell and Brayden Raydart cracked the Top 25 to help lead the Spartans to a team win.

DuChateau had a 30-second margin of victory to win the girls' race with a time of 19:03, with Peshtigo's Berkeley Chaltry, Notre Dame's Anna Miller, and Bay Port's Eloise Holman trailing her. Gretta Annoye ran a time of 21:50 to help the Spartans to a 3rd-place finish behind Bay Port and Notre Dame.

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team never allowed Little Chute to get comfortable offensively in a three-set sweep Thursday night. 

The Spartans won the match 25-11, 25-16, 25-17 to improve to 14-11 overall and 5-0 in the NEC.

The Spartans were led by Claire Schleis (14 assists, 6 kills, and 6 digs), Stella Schleis (9 assists and 8 digs), Aubrey Frey (16 kills and 6 digs), Ali Jansen (6 kills), and Jenna Annoye (16 digs and 4 aces).

Even with a week of distractions, head coach Jeff Frey was happy his squad got a good win against a conference opponent. "I am proud of the focus our girls showed this week with so much going on with homecoming; to get two wins and remain undefeated in conference was big."

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball will stay in NEC play on Thursday when they welcome Little Chute to town.

The Spartans opened with a tight 28-26 victory before taking the second set 25-20. Freedom answered with a 26-24 win in the third, but Luxemburg-Casco closed the match with a 25-14 fourth-set victory over host Freedom. Aubrey Frey led the Spartans with 26 kills and 12 digs, while Claire Schleis added 27 assists, nine kills, six digs, and four aces. Jenna Annoye finished with 15 digs and eight aces; Ali Jansen added eight kills; and Stella Schleis recorded 12 assists and five aces.

The Mustangs enter the match with a similar 13-9 overall record and a 2-1 NEC mark, with the blemish coming against the Irish last week. They split their four matches in tournament play over the weekend. 

The first serve is set for 7 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team returns to its home pitch on Thursday night when they battle Ripon under the lights. 

The Spartans broke a three-match skid on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over Waupaca. Dylan Roberts proved to be the difference in the match as he buried the feed from Emerson Castro for the lone goal in the match. Carson Koller registered his third clean sheet of the season in the victory. The Spartans are now 5-4 on the season.

The Tigers enter the matchup 10-2 on the year and have won their last five matches. It is a high-powered offense that has scored nine goals three times in their last five matches and has a goal differential of +67. A big reason is Devin Donovan, who has scored 51 of the Tigers' 77 goals.

Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.

Luxemburg-Casco found a way to stop its three-game losing streak Tuesday night.

The Spartans defeated Waupaca 1-0 on the road, getting back in the win column after being outscored 12-1 during their previous three matches. 

Dylan Roberts proved to be the difference in the match as he buried the feed from Emerson Castro for the lone goal in the match. Carson Koller registered his third clean sheet of the season in the victory.

The Spartans now turn their attention to another test with Ripon coming to town on Thursday.

Luxemburg-Casco continued its perfect start in NEC play Tuesday night, earning a 3-1 road win over Freedom.

The Spartans opened with a tight 28-26 victory before taking the second set 25-20. Freedom answered with a 26-24 win in the third, but Luxemburg-Casco closed the match with a 25-14 fourth-set victory.

The win moves Luxemburg-Casco to 13-11 overall and keeps the Spartans unbeaten at 4-0 in NEC play.

Coach Jeffrey Frey credited his team’s serving and composure against a Freedom team he called talented and full of weapons.

“We served great tonight and kept them out of system and off balance,” Frey said. “Proud of the composure and growth our team showed tonight.”

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team returns to NEC play on Tuesday with a road matchup against Freedom.

The Spartans managed just one win in five tries at last weekend's Charger Classic, losing to DSHA   7-25, 21-25 and West Bend West 25-12, 19-25, 11-15 while topping Kettle Moraine 25-19, 25-23 in pool play. They lost their crossover match to Arrowhead 13-25, 8-15 and their silver bracket match to Xavier 15-25, 23-25. Leading the way for the Spartans were Claire Schleis (45 assists, 18 kills, 20 digs), Stella Schleis (27 assists, 24 digs), Aubrey Frey (46 kills, 25 digs), and Jenna Annoye (25 digs, 4 aces).

The Irish are 10-9 overall and 1-1 in the NEC. They are coming off a pair of two-set losses to West De Pere and Hortonville last Saturday.

First serve is set for 7 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco girls golf team took on staunch competition Monday at Oneida Golf Club for the Notre Dame Triton Classic, taking 12th overall.

The Spartans were led by Reese Bandow, who shot a score of 88 to finish tied for 16th place. Brielle Snowberry was one stroke behind her teammate to finish tied for 18th along with five other golfers. 

Complete Results

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team looks to snap a three-game skid on Tuesday when they travel to Waupaca to battle the Comets.

The Spartans have been outscored 12-1 during their losing streak that has featured two ranked opponents. Rain likely canceled a scheduled match on Saturday against #10 Edgewood in Port Washington. Carson Koller made nine saves in the Spartans' last match, which was a 5-0 defeat to Sturgeon Bay.

The Comets are 2-5-2 and mired in their own five-match winless skid that has them searching for their first goal since a 2-2 draw against Marinette. 

Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco golf club kicks off the week with a big tournament when they head to the Oneida Golf Club in the Green Bay Area for the Notre Dame Academy Triton Classic.

The Spartans took fifth place at Thursday's Marinette Invitational. They registered a score of 373, 35 strokes behind first-place Seymour. Reese Bandow tied for first place with a score of 76, finishing alongside Wrightstown's Ella Swanson. Brielle Snowberry (94) and Averi Buresh (95) cracked 100 strokes to finish in the Top 20.

Appleton East High School, Ashwaubenon High School, Bay Port High School, De Pere High School, Denmark High/Middle School, Fond Du Lac High School, Freedom, Green Bay Preble Co-op, Hortonville High School, Kaukauna High School, and Kimberly High School will also compete in the tournament that begins at 9 a.m.

The Charger Classic offered a tough challenge for the Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team as they took 13th place during their trip to the Milwaukee area over the weekend.

The Spartans managed just one win in five tries, losing to DSHA   7-25, 21-25 and West Bend West 25-12, 19-25, 11-15 while topping Kettle Moraine 25-19, 25-23 in pool play. They lost their crossover match to Arrowhead 13-25, 8-15 and their silver bracket match to Xavier 15-25, 23-25. 

Leading the way for the Spartans were Claire Schleis (45 assists, 18 kills, 20 digs), Stella Schleis (27 assists, 24 digs), Aubrey Frey (46 kills, 25 digs), and Jenna Annoye (25 digs, 4 aces)

Head coach Jeff Frey said afterwards that the tournament is a good measuring stick for where the team needs to be for the second half of the season. "Three of our losses were to Top 5 teams in D1 and D2," Frey said. "We played well in spurts and learned a lot about ourselves. We just need to work on being more consistent."

Luxemburg Casco outlasted Wrightstown and the elements, for a rain soaked, 24-6 win that was heard on 104.1 WRLU.  

The Spartans took the opening possession and worked its way down the field, taking up over 8 minutes of the 1st quarter, but couldn't find the end zone. A botched snap on 4th and goal gave the ball to the Tigers inside their own 5.  Wrightstown would be forced to punt, and the Spartans went down the field again.  Once again though, LC couldn't find pay dirt, as Wyatt Bailey attempted a 30 yard field goal that had the distance but was off line. The Spartans defense came up with another stop, and got a pair of late down conversions to keep the drive going, before Ben Klass got into the end zone on a 6 yard carry late in the second quarter. Luxemburg Casco would take the 7-0 lead into the halftime break. 

After a quick stop by the defense to open the half, Eli Derenne connected with Trenton Price for a 32 yard touchdown pass. Another stop by the defense gave Luxemburg Casco an opportunity to extend the lead, doing so on a 27 yard field goal by Wyatt Bailey to go up 17-0.  Wrightstown attempted to put together a comeback, with Logan Kittoe getting the Tigers on the board with a 9 yard score. Lane Ledvina blocked the PAT attempt, keeping the score at 17-6.  Wrightstown attempted an onside kick, but Derenne was able to fall on it. Derenne put the finishing touches on the game with a 48 yard touchdown run with another Bailey PAT kick to put the game away 24-6. The Spartans defense forced one last punt and was able to kneel out the clock.  

Luxemburg Casco will look to make it two in a row next week, hosting Seymour in a cross conference matchup for its homecoming game. The Thunder will come in, looking to get back in the win column after a 42-6 thrashing at the hands of Xavier.  We will have that game on 104.1 WRLU. 

For Luxemburg-Casco Outside Hitter Aubrey Frey, there's not many boxes she needs to check off this season as an individual, but there is one big goal in mind for this season: a state title.

Frey has been a mainstay on All-NEC, All-Region, and All-State lists for the majority of her Spartans career. At last year's Fall Sports Preview at the Rendezvous of Luxemburg, her teammates announced that she had committed to play at Stephen F. Austin University for her college volleyball career. If there are records she needs to break, she already has or it doesn't matter to her. With the individual accomplishments set aside, holding up the golden ball at the Resch Center is what matters to Frey.

The Spartans have been outscored 9-1 in their last two matches against #2 Oostburg and #8 Sturgeon Bay. Goalkeeper Carson Koller has done what he could to keep the Spartans in the matches with seven saves against the Flying Dutchman and nine saves against the Clippers.

The Spartans will play again on Saturday at 9 a.m.

Luxemburg Casco will look to get back to winning ways when it travels to Wrightstown on Friday night, that you can hear on 104.1 WRLU.

Wrightstown comes into the contest at 1-3, including back-to-back losses to Little Chute and Xavier by scores of 28-14 and 16-14, respectively.  Junior running back Logan Kittoe leads the way for the Tigers offense, with 324 yards on the ground and 3 touchdowns.

The hills of Valders are calling the Luxemburg-Casco and Sturgeon Bay cross country teams as they prepare to run the Bob Burzynski 36th Annual XC Invite.

Luxemburg-Casco's first time racing at night was a fruitful one for the cross country team as the boys took third and the girls finished in 7th at Friday's Nightfall Classic 920. Ezra Treml led the boys' team with a fifth-place finish at a time of 15:55. Zach Tassoul cracked the 17-minute barrier to finish in the Top 15. Claire DuChateau carried the torch on the girls' side, taking second place with a time of 18:24.

For the Clippers, Rio Martinez finished the Nightfall Classic 920 in 27th with a season PR of 17:55, and Delaney Skiba came in 23rd with a season PR of 20:54.

Host Valders, Brillion, Denmark, Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah, Howards Grove, and Plymouth will also run in the meet that begins at 4 p.m. The meet will also feature the district's middle school teams. Luxemburg-Casco Middle School ran on Tuesday at Denmark's Neshota Park.

The Spartans had three golfers finish inside the top four individually, led by Brielle Snowberry. The senior fired a 40 to finish second overall, just four strokes behind medalist Kay Lee McClintock of Freedom, who shot a 36.

Reese Bandow also turned in a strong round for Luxemburg-Casco, finishing with a 44 to place third individually. Chloe Treml followed with a 48, good for a sixth-place finish, while Averi Buresh and Aubree Wypiszenski each contributed to the team score with rounds of 52 and 53, respectively.

That balanced scoring helped Luxemburg-Casco edge Denmark, which finished second with a 189. Freedom placed third at 202.

The Spartans' depth made the difference, with four golfers finishing in the top eight individually and all five scoring golfers shooting 53 or better.

Denmark
Luxemburg-Casco picked up a 3-1 win over Denmark on Tuesday night, winning 25-18, 15-25, 25-13 and 25-20 to improve to 11-7 overall and 3-0 in conference play.

Aubrey Frey led the Spartans with 26 kills, 13 digs and four aces. Claire Schleis added 17 assists, seven kills and 11 digs, while Stella Schleis finished with 16 assists, five digs and four aces. Ali Jansen added eight kills, and Jenna Annoye recorded a team-high 21 digs along with two aces.

“Denmark is an athletic team,” Luxemburg-Casco coach Jeffrey Frey said. “One of our big keys in the game plan was serving aggressively, and I thought that was the difference in the match. We had them out of system and made them uncomfortable offensively. It wasn’t always pretty, but we found a way to win. We showed a lot of grit.”

After honoring a pair of veterans, and three Gold Star families, the Spartans would get the opening kickoff but were forced to punt on its opening drive. On its opening possession, Little Chute drove down the field, capping off its opening drive with a 1 yard touchdown run by Jaden Hermsen. The Mustangs would go for 2, but were turned away. Luxemburg Casco took advantage, riding the momentum and going down the field, finishing the drive when Eli Derenne connected with Joey Jeanquart for a 4 yard touchdown run.  Wyatt Bailey's point after kick was good, giving the Spartans a 7-6 lead.  Early in the 2nd, Little Chute went back in front on another 1 yard sneak by Hermsen, but were once again denied on the 2 point conversion.  The two teams exchanged empty possessions over the remainder of the half with the Mustangs holding the 12-7 lead into the break.  

Little Chute got the opening kickoff of the second half but fumbled near midfield, giving the ball back to the Spartans with excellent field position.  Luxemburg Casco marched down the field but were turned away on 4th and goal with an opportunity to take the lead.  Instead, Little Chute was able to extend its lead when Charlie VandenHeuval found the endzone on a 5 yard rush.  The Mustangs converted on the 2 point conversion, holding a 20-7 lead that it would take into the 4th quarter.  Early in the 4th, Tyler Hietpas gave Little Chute a three possession lead when he scored an 11 yard touchdown and converted another two point conversion.  Down but not out, the Spartans went down the field with Ben Klass finding the endzone to cut the deficit in half.  Luxemburg Casco attempted an onside kick, but just missed the opportunity to recover it, giving the Mustangs excellent field position. Reece Joten found the endzone shortly after from 8 yards out. With one last gasp, the Spartans tried to mount a comeback but Mason Schneider intercepted a Derenne pass and took it to the endzone to put the game out of reach.  The Mustangs defense was able to score again against the Spartans reserves after a fumble to close out scoring.
