Spartans’ double play: Sycamore beat its most fierce rival and claimed the Northern illinois Big 12 East Conference title on the same night. 

The Spartans (14-3, 5-0) followed a 33-22 win against DeKalb last Thursday with a 1-2 weekend that featured a win against New Trier and losses to Hononegah and Illinoismatmen.com’s top-ranked Class 3A team Sandburg.  

“We did some good things last week,” Sycamore coach Alex Nelson said. “It’s always good to get a win against DeKalb. And we won conference at the same time. We’ve got some time now to work on things and get primed for the state playoffs.”
