REPLAY: GHS Silver Streaks boys basketball vs Madison | Galesburg Thanksgiving Tournament

The GHS boys basketball team dominated against the Madison Trojans at the Galesburg Thanksgiving Tournament Friday night. The Silver Streaks won, 69 - 25. That ended up being a premature end to the tournament as all of the games for Saturday (11/29) were canceled due to the impending winter storm. It was a team effort with balanced scoring and rebounding by Galesburg. Once again, Cesaire Bile led the Streaks in scoring with 17 points, Jaxon Wyatt contributed 15, Tobi Kivunina finished with 9, and Stone Thiel scored 8 points. Cesaire also led in the rebounding with 7. Overall, the Silver Streaks were 26 of 52 from the field, 6 of 17 from three-point range, and 11 of 15 from the free throw line. They pulled down 41 rebounds, had 15 assists, and committed 16 turnovers. Brad Bennewitz and Jason Wessels named senior Tobi Kivunina as the Dave's Auto Body Crunch Time Player of the Game! Toby scored 9 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and had a steal. One of the other reasons he was awarded the honor was for the energy he brought off the bench and his strong play as point guard in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. His role on the team is expanding considerably from where he was last year. Next up for the Silver Streaks is a non-conference game with their long-time rivals from Pekin High School on Tuesday 12/02 night. With the GHS girls playing at the same time, the boys game will be on 92.7 FM The Laser, starting with the pregame at about 6:40pm.
