SYCAMORE – Each year Ethel “Jolly” Busch makes the long drive down from Wisconsin to Sycamore.

Busch, the mother of Sycamore volleyball coach Debbie Klock, has her choice of Spartan volleyball games to attend, but she makes sure to come down for the same event each year: Volley for the Cure.

Both Sycamore and DeKalb hosted Volley for the Cure events on Tuesday during crucial Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference matches. Sycamore defeated Yorkville, 25-20, 25-21, while Kaneland beat the Barbs, 25-20, 29-31, 25-20.
