The Galesburg Silver Streaks boys basketball team fell in their final game before the holiday break to the Danville Vikings, 73-66. The Streaks seemed to have been fighting from behind all night after a tough first quarter. Despite some great stretches including erasing an 18-point deficit with a 17-3 run, they would have stretches were they struggled. The Streaks did not score a point in the second half until the five minute mark in the third quarter which included a stretch of six consecutive missed free throws. The Streaks fall to 4-8 on the year.
Junior Cody Jones was named the Dave's Auto Body Crunch-Time Player of the Game for being a spark off the bench for the Streaks. He had a crucial rebound in the third and finished with 4 points.
The Streaks will be back after Christmas on Wednesday (12/27) to take on Marion in the Taylorville Holiday Tournament. Brad Bennewitz and Jason Wessels will bring you live coverage starting with the pregame at 5:10pm on 93.7 FM & 1400 AM WGIL, as well as streaming on wgil.com.
