At Gene Schneider Field, Racine Lutheran lost a 34-10 non-conference football game to Martin Luther after injuries derailed the team’s early momentum—starting quarterback Cohen Kraus and lineman Cameron Yohn left the game—and Martin Luther scored 27 unanswered points in the second half. Coach Jeff Kraus said the loss will help the team learn and prepare for upcoming challenges.
