In their next to last non-conference game of the regular season, the Galesburg High School boys basketball team fell to the Limestone Rockets, 71-54. The Rockets led the entire game. The Silver Streaks came close a couple of times of at least tying the game, but Limestone never relented, scoring 42 points in the 2nd half. Galesburg is now 8 - 15 on the season.
The Streaks shot 19 of 38 from the field, 2 of 8 from beyond the arc, and 14 of 21 from the free throw line. The team had 22 rebounds, 5 assists and committed 16 turnovers. Only two Streaks players scored in double-figures, Cesaire Bile with 16 points and Jackson Crock Sibbing with 10.
In the third quarter, Cesaire Bile almost single-handedly kept the Streaks in the game, and for that was named the Dave's Auto Body Crunch Time Player of the Game. Cesaire scored 11 points in that quarter, and finished with a career-high 16 points. He also grabbed 4 rebounds, 3 of which were offensive, and a steal.
