Boys' basketball: Sylmar off to tough start

It hasn't been pretty for the Sylmar boys' basketball team so far.

The Spartans lost all five of their games at the Mission Prep tournament this week to fall to 1-9 on the season.

Sylmar went 1-3 at the Pasadena tournament three weeks ago, the only win coming against San Fernando.

Alex Moreno is having a great season though.

On Monday, Moreno had 29 points in a 101-73 setback against Campbell Hall and 26 against Mission Prep in a second game.

Sylmar will look to get back on track with a Thursday home game against Oaks Christian at 7 p.m. but the Lions have their football players back and will be hungry after losing three games at the Moorpark tournament two weeks ago.
