REPLAY: GHS Silver Streaks boys basketball season ends in Regionals with loss to Peoria High

The Galesburg boys basketball team's season came to an end in the 3A Regional opener at John Thiel Gymnasium Wednesday night, falling to the 8th ranked Peoria Lions, 68 - 44. Galesburg had its only lead in the game at 4 - 2, then the Lions went on an 8 - 0 run and the Silver Streaks never were even able to tie it. Although, they did get close. Down 9 at the half, the Silver Streaks rallied back to within 2, at 28 - 26 in the 3rd quarter with under three and a half minutes to play. But a technical foul on Galesburg's Cesaire Bile sparked the Lions as they outscored the Streaks, 13 - 2, opened up a 10-point lead heading into the 4th quarter and walked away with it, outscoring Galesburg by 14 in the 4th quarter. Our Dave's Auto Body Crunch Time Player of the Game was senior Keigen Crummer. He ended his career leading the Silver Streaks with 13 points on the night. The Galesburg boys basketball team finishes the season, 18 - 13, in Coach Taylor Thiel's first season as head coach. It was the Streaks first winning season in four years. Peoria High advances to the Regional Championship game versus East Peoria, Friday night at 6:00 at John Thiel Gymnasium.
