ROCHELLE — The Rochelle boys bowling team hosted Sycamore at T-Byrd Lanes on Tuesday, with the Spartans sweeping the season series by topping Rochelle 3,472-2,783 and dropping the Hubs to 0-7 overall.

Sycamore took a commanding lead early with a 1,093-821 victory in the first game behind Riley Wittenburg’s 235. Junior John Henson stepped up for the Hubs in the second game, firing 226 despite Rochelle losing the game 1,250-1,030. Five Spartans topped the 200-pin mark in the game including Jeffrey Gasso, who scored 244.

Gasso followed with 246 in the third game to lead Sycamore over Rochelle by a score of 1,129-929. Gasso finished with a match-high 686 series, with Henson recording a 575 series for the Hubs after rolling 184 in the game. Senior Logan Ortega totaled 196 in the final game for a 539 series.

The Rochelle boys bowling team remained winless on the season Thursday, when the Hubs suffered a close loss against the Sterling Golden Warriors by a score of 2,977-2,888 at Paone’s Blackhawk Lanes. Rochelle dropped to 0-8 overall with the loss.

The Hubs started strong with a decisive 1,032-884 win in the opening game behind junior Keith Holland’s 200 and 185 from sophomore Maddex Ramos.
