Peshtigo vs. Luxemburg-Casco Preview





Tomorrow at approximately Noon, the Peshtigo Bulldogs will take on the Luxemburg-Casco Spartans. Peshtigo comes into this game after coming away with a hard-fought 62-47 win over conference rival Wausaukee, and improved to 8-0 on the season. Point guard Jordan Berth leads the team with an average of 17 points per game. He is a tough guard that can drive the lane and get to the rim. Forward Zach Neumann is a powerful player that is averaging 11.8 points per game for coach Ryan Spaulding. Neumann is a terrific long-range shooter that has improved his inside game while on varsity. Casco is going through an up and down season at 3-6, but also play in a tough conference in the Bay Conference. Their last game was a blowout, a 93-48 win against the Oconto Falls Panthers. Point guard Caleb Willems, who was also the quarterback for the varsity football team this past fall, is a physically and mentally tough guard that can explode to the rim, and also a good passer that can find open teammates while in the lane. He is averaging 11 points a game. Coach Kyle Thayse says that he is the only player who saw considerable time on varsity last season, so youth is a big concern for this team. Expect the better team to come out with a win here, so I expect Peshtigo to win this one easily.
