Slumping Spartans hang on

SYCAMORE – The script looked the same for the Sycamore boys basketball team with five minutes left in Friday’s 59-53 win over Burlington Central.

During a three-game losing streak, turnovers killed them down the stretch, and the Spartans lost after blowing big leads late in games.

The Spartans began Friday’s game with a 14-0 run before the Rockets (6-11) chipped away at the deficit, using a 7-2 spurt to cut the lead to two midway through the fourth quarter.
