Fifteen Seniors
Play Final Game For Luxemburg-Casco By Mike Kollmansberger DoorCountyDailyNews.com October 19, 2007 The Luxemburg-Casco Spartans (1-7, 1-8 overall) ended their tough season with a 41-14 loss to the Marinette Marines (4-4, 4-5 overall) at a muddy Spartan Stadium Thursday night in Bay Conference football action. The win for the Marines gives them an opportunity to make the WIAA playoffs starting Tuesday but they will need to be selected by the playoff committee since their overall record is below .500. The Marines scored a touchdown in each of the first three quarters to control the game from the beginning. The first score came on a nine yard pass from senior quarterback Cody Bezio to senior wide receiver Taylor Garceau. The next three scores came on the legs of Bezio from 1, 35 and 64 yards away. The Spartans scored their two touchdowns around the final Bezio run on two touchdown passes from senior Jason Jandrin. The first hook up was a five yarder to senior Eric Gale at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The second score came midway through the fourth when Jandrin hit senior Nick Lloyd on a 12 yard play and then hit Lloyd on the two-point conversion that made the score 28-14. Marinette finished up the scoring with a four yard scamper by junior Zach Edwards and an 85 yard interception return by Garceau. Bezio ended the evening with 165 yards on the ground on 16 carries and another 147 yards through the air going 8 of 21 and four touchdowns total. Jandrin had his biggest passing night of the year going 14 of 32 for 187 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. Despite the tough game, L-C head coach Pete Kline was pleased that the team didn't quit. (Audio Here) Coach Kline also wanted to remind everyone that although winning is important, everyone involved still had a great time and will take away memories and friendships that only high school football can offer. (Audio Here) The rest of the Bay Conference scores from Thursday night included Denmark suffering their first conference loss of the season to New London 35-7. Both Denmark and New London finish 7-1 along with West De Pere, who shut out Shawano 20-0 creating a three way tie for the conference title.
