Sparta lost to Greenville back in January and unfortunately they wound up with the same result on Tuesday. The Spartans came up short against the Yellow Jackets, falling 73-48. While losing is never fun, the Spartans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 265th, while the Yellow Jackets are ranked 35th).
Sparta has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-10 record this season. As for Greenville, they pushed their record up to 17-2 with the victory, which was their eighth straight at home.
Looking ahead, Sparta will host Cedar Springs at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Spartans will be up against the Red Hawks' rather soft defense (which has allowed 56.94 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. Greenville has already played their next contest (against Wyoming), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
