Jacobson: Spartans quickly turn around their program

BURLINGTON – Sycamore seniors Scott Nelson and David Compher experienced the worst of Spartan basketball.

As sophomores, Nelson and Compher were moved up to the varsity late in the 2010-11 season. They only played late in games. The Spartans ended that season at 5-20, dragging through a year that couldn’t have seen much enjoyment.

“It definitely wasn’t fun,” Compher said. “When you’re in that position you don’t even want to play for a regional championship, you just want the season to end.”
