The GHS Silver Streaks girls basketball team beat the Dunlap Eagles this afternoon 60-47. This brings the Streaks up to 8-0 for the season and drops the Eagles down to 4-3 in their season. The Streaks had a shaky start with Dunlap pulling ahead with a 11-0 lead in the the first 3 minutes of the game. The 1st quarter ended with Galesburg down 14-8. This was the first time so far this season that the Streaks were losing at the end of the 1st.
By halftime though Galesburg had finally got the lid off the basket and pulled ahead 25-22 going into the locker room. They grew their lead even more coming back onto the court, pulling ahead to 33-22 by the middle of the 3rd quarter. The Streaks then maintained their lead through the remainder of the game bringing them to the 60-47 victory.
