The Luxemburg-Casco Spartan boys basketball kept the game Friday night with the undefeated Wrightstown Tigers close until the final eight minutes but fell 65-49 in Luxemburg.  The teams played a see-saw affair in the first half with Wrightstown going into halftime with a 29-25 lead. 

The Tigers dominated the offensive boards throughout the game and outscored the Spartans from the free-throw line 19 to three.  Managing to keep the game close, the Spartans actually led in the second half but saw the Tigers turn a 44-42 lead into a 58-42 score with a 14-0 run from the seven-minute mark until late in the game.  Spartan Ryan Robillard left the game with an apparent ankle injury and L-C could not close the gap. 

Logan Doell and Robillard led the Spartans with 13 points each, while Sam Haese paced the Tigers with 14. 

Luxemburg-Casco (4-4, 5-5 overall) will now play Waupaca Tuesday night at home. Wrightstown (8-0, 12-0 overall) stays in first place and remains undefeated in the North Eastern Conference.

  The next Luxemburg-Casco boys basketball game broadcast on WBDK 96.7FM will be next Friday when they play Fox Valley Lutheran.
