Luxemburg Casco made history on Friday night, winning the first ever matchup for "The Cow Bell" a traveling trophy that will go to the winner of Denmark and LC.  The Spartans sent their seniors off on a high note, winning the regular season finale 35-0 as heard on 104.1 WRLU.  

Luxemburg Casco got the opening kickoff and went down the field in short order, as Eli Derenne connected with Calvin Jandrain for a 21 yard touchdown pass.  The Spartans special teams backed Denmark up deep into its own territory and took advantage of a short field after a bad punt. Benjamin Klass found the endzone for a 1 yard score to give LC a 14-0 lead after Wyatt Bailey's PAT kick.  Denmark got the ball and once again, went 3 and out with the Spartans getting excellent field position once again.  This time Derenne ran for a score, capping off the drive with a 5 yard touchdown run.  Neither team found the endzone for the remainder of the first half, as the Spartans defense managed to force a pair of Vikings fumbles, but couldn't capitalize with a pair of turnover on downs.  LC went into the halftime break with a 21-0 lead. 

After the teams took the field, the Spartans defense forced a quick punt. LC got the ball deep in its own territory, but Derenne found the endzone quickly, toting the ball 82 yards for his second touchdown of the contest. Denmark took the ensuing much and attempted to piece together a drive but got turned away, ending the possession on a turnover on downs. Derenne capped off an incredible regular season, with his third touchdown on the night, this time from 11 yards out.  It was running clock the rest of the way, as both teams exchanged empty possessions to close out the game.  

Luxemburg Casco will await its playoff fate, as seeding is announced Saturday morning. The Spartans finish the regular season with a 6-3 record. Stay tuned to the NEW Radio Sports Network social media pages to see where the Spartans are playing next week.

Luxemburg Casco's winning streak came to an end on Friday as the top ranked Freedom Irish rolled to its 8th straight win, taking down the Spartans 45-6 as heard on 104.1 WRLU. 

The Spartans defense forced an early turnover, as Joey Jeanquart intercepted his first of two passes on the contest's opening possession. A good return gave Luxemburg Casco excellent field position, but the Spartans could not find pay dirt.  A turnover on downs pinned Freedom deep in their own territory, but the Irish struck first. Axzil Eggert broke a pair of tackles to spring free for a 75 yard touchdown, his first of five on the evening. On the Spartans' ensuing drive, Luxemburg Casco moved down the field, but a fumble gave the ball back to Freedom in LC territory. Shortly after, Owen Henkel connected with Charlie Micke for a 32 yard touchdown pass.  Luxemburg Casco's next drive stalled out, leading to a punt that went out of bounds just a few yards downfield, giving the Irish a short field, capped off with another Eggert score.  Freedom got another stop defensively, and marched downfield.  The Spartans defense held enough to force a Cal Calhoon 32 yard field attempt, which split the uprights to give the Irish a 24-0 advantage.  Jeanquart returned the ensuing kickoff past midfield, and the Spartans offense got rolling.  Luxemburg Casco got on the board with a Ben Klass 1 yard touchdown, attempting a two point conversion, but were stopped, leaving the score at 24-6.  Unfortunately, Freedom was able to answer back quickly, with Eggert rushing from 4 yards out.  The teams exchanged possessions for the remainder of the half, highlighted by an Ethan Werner interception, but neither team was able to add points, sending the game to the break at 31-6.  

The third quarter started with a defensive stalemate for much of the period, with Jeanquart hauling in his second interception of the game. That is, until Eggert found the end zone from 20 yards out for his 4th touchdown.  LC was turned away on the offensive end, leading to one last Eggert score to bring running clock and close the game.  

The win gives Freedom at least a share of the North Eastern Conference championship, which they can win outright in the regular season finale next week at Sheboygan Falls. Luxemburg Casco will close the regular season, hosting Denmark next Friday night. We will carry that game on 104.1 WRLU. 

The Luxemburg-Casco cross country team will host nearly 20 teams on Friday for its annual Russ Fameree Invitational, including Kewaunee, Southern Door, Sturgeon Bay, and Sevastopol.

The first races are set to begin at 3:45 p.m. at Northbrook Golf Course in Luxemburg.

LAST ACTION

The boys' squad nearly registered a perfect score to win the meet, with Spartans making up four of the first five finishers. Ezra Treml got the victory with a time of 16:10, over a minute in front of Zach Tassoul and Marcus Doell, who also finished with sub-18-minute times on the 5K course. On the girls' side, it was Claire DuChateau who won her fifth race in six tries on Thursday with a 5K time of 18:28 on the hilly terrain. She said afterward that she has a lot of confidence going into the final stretch of the season. The Spartans had four runners in the Top 10, but it was not enough to overtake Green Bay Preble for the team title.

Muddy conditions did not slow down the Kewaunee cross country teams at Thursday's Reedsville Invitational. The boys' team finished in 6th place while the girls took 7th as a squad. For the girls, Natalie Miller ran a season-best 21:22 5K to pace the Storm as she posted a top-15 performance. Alison Kuehl and Olivia Kuehl were able to record personal bests in their races. On the boys' side, Jayden Reckelberg ran a personal-best 19:25 to finish in the Top 35 and lead the Storm. Six of the seven boys recorded a season best or better in the race.

The Sevastopol cross country team posted great times on its home course on Thursday as it hosted the Pioneer Invite. Led by Landon Sitte, the Pioneers had all four of its runners finish in the Top 20 in the boys' race and all under 22 minutes on the 5K course. For the girls, Breiah Newton once again led the way with a time of 20:44 to take fifth place overall while three of her teammates all recorded personal bests. 

Abigail Matson ran a personal best time of 23:14 to pace the Sturgeon Bay girls cross country team to a third-place finish in last Thursday's Pioneer Invite. Penny Kiedrowski was right behind her in 15th place (23:40) as all of the Clippers finished in the Top 25. It was similar for the boys' squad, which also finished in 3rd thanks to a personal best for Elliott Brown (19:49, 12th) and another top-15 performance by Deacon Haus (20:38, 14th). 

Running in honor of High School teacher Erin Fritsch as she battles cancer inspired plenty of fast times at Thursday's Reedsville Invitational. On the boys' side, Colton Valley ran a personal record 18:17 to take 13th overall. All four varsity runners recorded at least a season-best time in the 5K race. On the girls' side, Malania Veeser's personal best time of 19:33 helped her capture 1st place overall. Six of the seven runners on the girls' team ran a personal record, with Addison Miller (22:07) recording a season-best time.

Luxemburg Casco will be playing for a chance to stake a claim for a share of the North Eastern Conference on Friday night, when it travels to Freedom to play the Irish on 104.1 WRLU. 

The Spartans cruised to victory last week, hosting Sheboygan Falls, clipping the Falcons 67-0.  Offensively, Luxemburg-Casco rushed for 384 yards as a team, with Eli Derenne recording 98 yards on 6 carries, finding the end zone twice in just one half of game time.  Derenne also threw for 109 yards and 2 touchdowns. Backup QB Callen Murphy got the entirety of the second half to lead the offense, recording 5 carries for 101 yards and 4 touchdowns to close out the blowout.  The Spartans' defense forced 7 turnovers in the win as well.  

L-C will have their work cut out for them, battling the undefeated Freedom Irish, who come into the contest as the #1-ranked team in the Bound Wisconsin coaches poll for Division 4.  The Irish got a 42-20 win over Wrightstown last week, led by QB Owen Henkel's 258 passing yards and 4 touchdowns. 3 of those went to junior WR Charlie Micke, who hauled in 9 total catches for 135 yards.  Henkel also ran for a touchdown in the win. 

Eric Fischer and Ramsay Thompson will have the call from Freedom High School, with pregame coverage at 6:45 pm, and kickoff at 7:00 pm on 104.1 WRLU.  

Reese Bandow represented Luxemburg-Casco at the WIAA Division 1 sectional Tuesday, shooting a 94 at Thornberry Creek at Oneida.

Bandow advanced to the sectional as an individual after shooting an 85 at the regional meet, where the Spartans fell just three strokes short of advancing as a team. The senior was unable to earn one of the individual spots at state, finishing tied with Bay Port’s Eva Kentop and Notre Dame’s Abigail Rupp with a 94.

Green Bay Preble’s Emma Cunningham led the field with a 71 and qualified individually for state. De Pere’s Emma Hudson and Ashwaubenon’s Amelia Hogue also earned individual state berths, while Bay Port and Kaukauna advanced as teams.

The sectional appearance brings Bandow’s senior season with Luxemburg-Casco to a close after advancing through the postseason as the Spartans’ lone sectional qualifier. 

Luxemburg-Casco opened the night with a win, but Oconto Falls responded by taking the next three sets to hand the Spartans a 3-1 loss.

The Spartans took the opening set 25-20 before the Panthers answered with a tight 25-22 victory in the second. Oconto Falls carried that momentum into the final two sets, winning 25-19 and 25-15 to close out the match.

The Spartans were led by Claire Schleis (27 assists, 12 kills), Stella Schleis (16 assists), Aubrey Frey (26 kills, 14 digs), and Jenna Annoye (25 digs).

The loss moves Luxemburg-Casco to 17-14 on the season, while Oconto Falls improves to 27-4. Head coach Jeff Frey credited Oconto Falls for making the plays when they needed to. "Congrats to Rochelle and her team they got tonight and they deserved it.  We’ll regroup and go back to work tomorrow," Frey said postmatch.

The Spartans have a week before returning to action Tuesday at Waupaca.

Luxemburg-Casco boys soccer used a pair of second-half goals to earn a 2-0 road victory over Marinette on Tuesday night.

After the two teams went into halftime scoreless, the Spartans broke through twice in the second half to take control and come away with the shutout victory.

The win brings Luxemburg-Casco back to .500 on the season as the Spartans continue to build momentum heading into the final stretch of their schedule.

Luxemburg-Casco returns to action Saturday, Oct. 10, when it travels to Grafton.

The area's lone qualifier takes to the course on Tuesday when Luxemburg-Casco's Reese Bandow competes in the Notre Dame Sectional at Thornberry Creek Golf Course in Oneida.

While the Spartans came up just short as a team, the senior Bandow kept her season going by qualifying individually after firing an 85. We talked to Bandow earlier this season about the strides her game took going into her senior season and what she was going to focus on to help her qualify for next week's state tournament at University Ridge Golf Course in Madison.

The tee time for the Par-72 course is 9 a.m.

The first serve is set for 7 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team hits its home pitch on Tuesday with a match against Marinette.

The Spartans made their first-half goals stick in a 2-0 win over Denmark on Thursday. They struck first in the fourth minute when Dylan Roberts scored on a Blake Barbiaux assist to make it 1-0. Nearly 20 minutes later, the Vikings helped the Spartans double their advantage with an own goal in the 23rd minute. Shots were hard to come by for both teams, with the Spartans' Carson Koller stopping two shots and the Vikings' Mason Rozek making three saves. 

The Marines lost their last match to Freedom 4-0 and two of their last three matches after starting the season on an eight-game point streak (6-0-2).

"We battled and competed all day against some really good competition," Frey said at the end of play on Saturday. "I’m excited about the growth we are showing; we are starting to play our best volleyball of the season."

Luxemburg Casco was able to cruise to a dominant win on Friday, taking down the Sheboygan Falls Falcons by a 67-0 margin, as heard on 104.1 WRLU. 

Joey Jeanquart got the night started on a good note for the Spartans, intercepting a pass and taking a return near midfield. Three plays later, Eli Derenne connected with Jeanquart for a 24 yard touchdown pass.  The Falcons offense strung together a couple plays but fumbled, giving the ball back to LC. The Spartans offense struck quickly, with Derenne rushing for a 64 yard score.  Jeanquart picked off another pass on Sheboygan Falls' ensuing possession, leading to Derenne connecting with Mason Lemens for a 23 yard touchdown.  Another stop by LC's defense ended with Derenne scampering for his 2nd score, this time from 12 yards out.  The Spartans forced yet another fumble in Falcons territory with Tyce Klaubauf capping off the drive with a 4 yard touchdown run. The two teams exchanged turnovers with Luxemburg Casco getting one last chance before the half. Once again, Derenne connected with Jeanquart, this time from 13 yards out to put the Spartans up 41-0 before the half, earning a running clock for the rest of the contest. 

In the second half, the Spartans reserves took the field, with Callen Murphy leading the offense, and shining in relief.  In his efforts, the sophomore quarterback rushed for 4 touchdowns in the second half, with scores from 15 yards, 14 yards, 45 yards, and another from 14 yards.  The Spartans defense was just as impressive, forcing a few more fumbles over the remainder of the contest.  

Luxemburg Casco head coach Neil Seering joined the booth after the game, crediting his team's efforts in the win.  Additionally, he gave us a look ahead at next week's game against Freedom, which could be for the North Eastern Conference championship.

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team's focus on serving paid dividends Thursday night in a 3-0 sweep of Marinette.

The Spartans won the match 25-9, 25-14, 25-8 thanks to 19 service aces. Claire Schleis alone had six of the service aces to go along with 17 assists and five kills. The Spartans were also led by Stella Schleis (10 assists), Aubrey Frey (18 kills), and Ali Jansen (6 kills). 

"Winning on the road is always good," said head Jeff Frey after the match. "We have been focusing a lot on our serving, and I thought we were really good again tonight from the service line."

The win sets the Spartans up for an important home match next week against Oconto Falls.

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team made its first half goals stick in a 2-0 win over Denmark on Thursday.

The Spartans struck first in the fourth minute when Dylan Roberts scored on a Blake Barbiaux assist to make it 1-0. Nearly 20 minutes later, the Vikings helped the Spartans double their advantage with an own goal in the 23rd minute. Shots were hard to come by for both teams with the Spartan's Carson Koller stopping two shots and the Vikings' Mason Rozek making three saves.

L-C is now 7-5 and will be back in action Tuesday at home against Marinette.

Luxemburg Casco is looking to make it 3 in a row, as the Spartans are set to host Sheboygan Falls, which you can hear on 104.1 WRLU. 

The Spartans moved to 4-2 last week, after storming past the Seymour Thunder 42-6 for a homecoming win.  Once again, Eli Derenne led the way, contributing over 300 yards of total offense, rushing for 3 touchdowns and throwing for another.  Ben Klass found the end zone twice as well in the win.  

Across the sideline will be the Sheboygan Falls Falcons.  Sheboygan Falls comes in to the contest with an 0-6 record, having been held scoreless each of the last two weeks. Austin Seebruch leads the Falcons with 285 rushing yards and one touchdown. 

Eric Fischer and Ramsay Thompson will have the call, with the pregame show beginning at 6:45 pm, with kickoff set for 7:00 pm. Catch the game on your radio dial on 104.1 WRLU, or streamed online at NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com. 

The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team looks to rebound from a tough loss on Tuesday when they travel to Marinette on Thursday to face the Marines.

The Neenah Rockets took the match from the Spartans 23-25, 25-21, 25-20, 25-22 across four closely contested sets. The Spartans were led by Claire Schleis (22 assists, 2 blocks, 2 aces), Aubrey Frey (21 kills and 15 digs), Ali Jansen (8 kills), and Jenna Annoye (17 digs).

The Marines have struggled to accumulate wins as they look for their first victory in NEC play. They have not won a match since a 3-0 win against Menominee on September 8th and not captured a set since then either.

First serve is set for 7 p.m.

The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team hopes they can keep the offense rolling on Thursday when Denmark comes to town.

The Spartans took control early and never looked back Tuesday night, cruising past Wrightstown 5-0 in NEC boys soccer action. They carried a 1-0 advantage into halftime before breaking the game open with four goals in the second half. Elvin Mendoza led the way with a hat trick.

The Vikings are 5-5-2 on the season and on a two-game point streak with 1-0 win against NEW Lutheran and a 2-2 draw with Seymour to their credit.

Game time is set for 6:30 p.m.
