REPLAY: GHS Silver Streaks boys basketball @ Alleman

The Galesburg boys basketball team passed its first road-test of the season, opening their Western Big 6 Conference season with a 75 - 55 win on the road at Rock Island Alleman. Galesburg is 4 - 0 on the season and 1 - 0 in conference play. The Silver Streaks led the entire game, but Alleman as energetic, organized, and as fundamental as an Alleman team we've seen, came out shooting the ball in bunches. They made the Streaks work. It was just a 4-point game early in the 2nd quarter. Then Galesburg had a couple of short runs, and ended up leading by 11-points at halftime, 43 - 32. Alleman was still hanging around down 8-points in the 3rd quarter when Galesburg put together its most meaningful run, scoring 11 straight points to open up a 19-point lead and cruise the rest of the way for the win. Great stats all over the scoresheet for the Silver Streaks. Cesaire Bile scored a career-high on the varsity level with 27 points. He also finished with 6 rebounds and was named the Dave's Auto Body Crunch Time Player of the Game. Keigen Crummer didn't miss a shot until the 4th quarter. He finished with a double-double, 12 points and 10 rebounds. Overall, Galesburg was 26 of 64 from the field, 9 of 21 from beyond the arc, and 14 of 19 from the free-throw line. They pulled down 47 rebounds, had 16 assists, and committed 16 turnovers. Next up for the Silver Streaks, Rock Island comes to John Thiel Gym Tuesday (12/09) night. Brad Bennewitz and Jason Wessels will bring you all the action starting with the pregame at 6:40 Tuesday night on 93.7 FM and 1400 AM WGIL and wgil.com.
