The Sycamore boys and girls basketball teams struggled to find a rhythm and keep enough momentum to win consistently in the 2011-2012 season, but the teams are working on improving just that this summer.

The boys ended the 2011 season 9-20, and coach Andrew Stacy is confident that the team will have more success in 2012 through its summer preparation.

The boys recently finished participating in the Geneva summer league, and the Spartans still will play about 40 shootout games against teams such as West Aurora, Oswego East and local high schools throughout the summer.
