Bulldogs Too
Much To Handle For Spartans By Mike Kollmansberger DoorCountyDailyNews.com September 15, 2007 The New London Bulldogs showed why they will be right in the hunt for a conference championship as they dominated the Luxemburg-Casco Spartans Friday night 33-7 in New London. The Bulldogs took control of this game early on and never really allowed the Spartans any chance of getting back into it. New London scored twice in the first half. Senior Justin Pflum got things started for the Bulldogs on a 3 yard touchdown run mid-way through the first quarter. Senior tight end Mitch Schuh recovered a fumble in the end zone early in the second quarter to give his team a 14-0 halftime lead. New London ended any hope of a Spartan comeback by adding a 45 yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Trevor Hass to Schuh and a 41 yard touchdown run by senior running back Jake Hermsen that made the score 27-0. Luxemburg-Casco's senior Derek Willems returned the ensuing kickoff 83 yards for the Spartans only score of the night. New London finished off the scoring on the second touchdown hook up between Hass and Schuh on the evening, this time a 16 yard-er halfway through the fourth quarter. The Spartans managed only 150 yards of total offense compared to the Bulldogs 441 yards. Hass ended an impressive night 9 of 14 for 204 yards and two TDs with one INT. Hermsen led the ground attack with 148 yards on just 18 carries and the one score. Schuh had three receptions for 76 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Bulldog receivers. Despite the discrepancy in numbers, Luxemburg-Casco had some opportunities to score early on and keep the game close however they were once again plagued by turnovers and penalties, something head coach Pete Kline just can't explain. (Audio Here) The Spartans will try to regroup as they head back home next Friday night to face Seymour for their homecoming game. The broadcast can be heard on 96.7FM WBDK beginning at 6:45pm. |

Spartans Look To
Continue Winning Ways At New London
By Mike Kollmansberger DoorCountyDailyNews.com September 14, 2007
The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans hope
to even their season record at a tough location Friday night as
they travel to New London to face the Bulldogs. The broadcast
begins at 6:45pm on 96.7FM WBDK. New London comes into the
contest 2-1 overall and in the conference, winning last week
28-14 over Marinette. That came after a 40-7 drubbing of Oconto
Falls in week two. The only loss of the season for the Bulldogs
came in week one, a 29-27 overtime defeat to West De Pere. The Spartans were
able to put almost everything together last week in the 27-0
shutout of Shawano at Luxemburg-Casco High School. An offense
that gained over 300 yards on the ground and a defense that gave
up only 86 yards of total offense and kept the Hawks scoreless
earned L-C their first win of the season and as a member of
the newly formed Bay Conference. You can hear L-C Head Coach
Pete Kline's thoughts about New London on our pre game show
tonight at 6:45 on 96.7FM WBDK.

Packers Crosby
Named Player Of The Week By Nick Freimuth DoorCountyDailyNews.com September 13, 2007 Green Bay Packer rookie kicker Mason Crosby has had an amazing week. At the end of the preseason, Crosby learned he beat out incumbent kicker Dave Rayner for a roster spot, celebrated his 23rd birthday, hit the game winning 42 yard field goal against Philadelphia and now has been named the special teams player of the week for the NFL.

The late 42 yard field goal was the first game-winner by a rookie on Kickoff Weekend since 1979 (MATT BAHR). A sixth-round pick out of Colorado, Crosby began his NFL career with a 53-yard field goal in the first quarter, one-yard shy of the franchise record (54). Crosby is the first player in NFL history to kick a 50-yard field goal and a game-winning field goal with under a minute remaining in his NFL debut. In his rookie season from Colorado, this is Crosby’s first career Player of the Week Award. Crosby is the first rookie kicker to be named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week on Kickoff Weekend. Green Bay linebacker Nick Barnett had a game-high 13 tackles and one interception in the Packers’ 16-13 victory over Philadelphia. He was a nominee for NFC Defensive Player of Week 1. |
