Spartans’ Winters takes on bigger role
Jake Winters took over as Sycamore’s starting point guard at the end of November, but had a little more responsibility on his hands Friday night against Burlington Central.

With senior David Compher, one of Sycamore’s other main ballhandlers, sitting out because of an ejection in the Spartans’ previous game against Rock Falls (IHSA rules stipulate players and coaches must sit one additional game after being ejected from a game), Winters took on a bigger role in Sycamore’s 59-53 win.

The junior point guard put up 11 points, including a big corner 3-pointer with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to put Sycamore up, 49-44.
