The Galesburg Silver Streaks football team went on the road to Geneseo for their 2nd Western Big 6 Conference game of the season. The Maple Leafs engineered a scoring drive in the 4th quarter that put them on top with just over a minute to go in the game and they went on to win, 28 - 21. The Streaks had a number of opportunities in the 2nd half to get the points that they needed, but it was Geneseo that prevailed and got their first conference win of the season. Jamar Range had an incredible game with 36 carries for the Silver Streaks for a total of 349 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Dave's Autobody Crunch Time Player of the Game was Streaks' offensive center, Asher Whitcomb. He was out last week due to an injury, and his return for tonight's game made a huge difference in the rhythm of the offense. Due to a referee shortage, next week's game at Van Dyke Field has been moved to Thursday (10/3) night for the Streaks' conference game with the Quincy Blue Devils.
In their first Western Big 6 Conference game of the season, the Galesburg Silver Streaks football team suffered a loss at home to the Sterling Golden Warriors, 40-3.

The Dave's Autobody Crunch Time Player of the Game was Caden Ashby for his fantastic athletic defensive play in the corner of the end zone making an interception.

Galesburg will now play the defending 3A state champs, the Metamora Redbirds, Wednesday night in the Geneseo Regional Semifinals game. Galesburg shot 42% from the field and 35% from 3-point range. The Silver Streaks won in the turnover battle, only giving up the ball 8 times to Geneseo's 14 turnovers. Galesburg is 7-1 when they commit fewer turnovers than their opponent. And with a win in their final game at John Thiel Gym this season, the Silver Streaks have a winning record on their home court at 8-6. They played less than half of their games at home this season. The Streaks were led in scoring by Jackson Crock Sibbing with 19 points, including four 3-pointers, Jace Keith scored 16 points with 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Ethan Oxley had 8 points with 6 rebounds, Gino Williams finished with 7 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, while Tyree Tayler scored 7 points with 4 rebounds. In the 3rd quarter, Geneseo cut the lead down to 4 points at 29-25. But on the Maple Leafs' first missed shot of the quarter, Jackson Crock Sibbing got the rebound, and then on the other end drained a 3-point shot to end the Maple Leafs' scoring run at that point. For that clutch 3-pointer to swing the momentum back to Galesburg, and for achieving his career high in rebounds for a game, Jackson Crock Sibbing was named the Dave’s Auto Body Crunch-Time Player of the Game. JCS finished the night with 19 points and 8 rebounds. Galesburg continues in the Regional playing next at Geneseo against the #1 ranked Metamora Redbirds in the semifinal game.

Jozalyn had an offensive rebound and put-back where she got fouled for a traditional three-point play, and at that point in the game, kept the Streaks in it. So for her great effort coming off the bench, Jozalyn Kilgore was named the Dave’s Auto Body Crunch-Time Player of the Game. The high school basketball careers come to an end for Silver Streaks seniors Kiarra Kilgore, Antonia Kisler, Alexis Edgerson, Syriah Boyd and Addison Peck.
