Basketball takes the floor

DeKALB - Jerry and Sandy Busby may be the ultimate high school basketball fans - at least for DeKalb.

The couple, who moved to DeKalb in 1960 from the Maple Park area, has been attending local boys and girls games for more than 50 years. They even have season tickets to both the mens and womens teams at Northern Illinois University.

“We didn’t go to as many games when we were younger because we had young kids,” said Jerry Busby, who won state tournaments in the Senior Olympics and didn’t quit playing ball himself until he was 73.
