REPLAY: GHS Silver Streaks boys basketball vs Sterling

Tuesday night at John Thiel Gym, the Galesburg boys basketball team got off to a quick start against visiting Sterling. The Streaks scored the first 9 points, and 15 of the first 17, getting out to a quick double-digit lead and then kept the lead the entire game to a 54 - 35 victory over the Golden Warriors. Galesburg had four players in double-figures led by Keigen Crummer with 11 points, all in the 1st half. Tobi Kivunina, Eden Mayala, and Jaxon Wyatt all finished with 10 points. But the energy-guy, Demetrius Watson, was named the Dave's Auto Body Crunch Time Player of the Game.  He finished the night with 5 points and 6 rebounds. Demetrius played with extraordinary energy, even when the Streaks were up big. He really set the tone for the team and also got the crowd involved. It was a fun night at John Thiel Gym as the home crowd came out and was entertained. The Galesburg boys are now 9 - 8 on the season, and 2 - 4 in the Western Big 6. Next up for the Silver Streaks, they are back home in conference play against Geneseo Friday night. Brad Bennewitz and Jason Wessels will bring all of the action starting with the pregame at 6:40pm on 93.7 FM and 1400 AM WGIL and wgil.com.
