MUNCIE, Ind. — Payton Sparks says he and his fellow Winchester basketball senior, Wayde Sickels, talk about the way their 2019-20 season ended all the time.
Then juniors, Sparks and Sickels watched Frankton mount a second-half comeback and defeat their Golden Falcons. The Eagles eliminated them in what was a Class 2A sectional semifinal. And that meant Winchester’s streak of seasons without an IHSAA sectional title, since the 2010-11 season, would continue.
But while Sparks looks back on that loss and believes it was a game Winchester should have won, he also looks ahead to his 2020-21 season with the confidence his team can reach the sectional final and win.
