HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
The Galesburg Silver Streaks were expected to rout the first team they play this year, and they did. The Streaks took care of Chicago Academy Friday night 57-0 in the season and home openers. The Streaks led 44-0 after the first half and used all their players en route to their first victory of the season. Among the numerous scores, sophomore back Travon Diggins had a 20-yard touchdown run in the first half, and opened the second with a 89-yard kickoff reception for a TD. The Streaks now look ahead to play at Morton next Friday night. You can hear the game on AM 1400 WGIL beginning at 7:06. The sophomores did not play last night, because Chicago Academy did not have a sophomore team.
Elsewhere, the Knoxville Blue Bullets opened the season with a close loss to Bushnell-Prairie City Avon 22-21. The Spartans scored all their points in the second half, while the Blue Bullets couldn't score in the 4th Quarter.
Mid-County opened its first season as a newly combined football team with a win, defeating Princeville 26-12. The ROWVA-Williamsfield-Galva Coop did all their scoring in the first half en route to the victory.
