Janesville Parker High School’s boys basketball team was fired up after its spirited battle with Beloit Memorial last Saturday, but it didn’t carry over against No. 2 ranked Madison Memorial on Tuesday.

Tre Creamer scored 18 points to lead the Spartans. Jeronne Maymon collected 15 points, Vander Blue added 13, and Junior Lomomba got 11.

Madison Memorial plays at such a high level, amazing because they have only one football player on there roster. Multi-sport players they are not...and gee they seem to do very well.

Is there any way that we can merge the two city teams together, like hockey did? This isn't funny anymore!
