The 2025-26 Galesburg Silver Streaks girls basketball season tips off tonight, and second-year head coach Lexi Demott stopped by Galesburg’s Morning News to give fans the complete inside scoop.
She told us the team has one big focus word this year:
“That’s kind of been our big word right now is to be disciplined – whether it’s in our press, in our half-court man-to-man defense, or on offense being disciplined and patient and really getting what we want and not feeling like we have to rush into things.” – Coach Lexi Demott
In this episode you’ll also hear:
- What surprised her most in year one (and what she’s doing differently now)
- How the Streaks spent the entire offseason raising their basketball IQ
- Why the Western Big 6 has “no cupcakes” and the non-conference schedule is one of the toughest in the state
- Tonight’s opener vs. Camp Point Central under a brand-new coach
- The re-formatted Thanksgiving Shootout and what those four games in a week will tell us
If you are a Streaks basketball fan, this is your official 2025-26 season preview.
Tip-off tonight at 7 p.m. (6:45 p.m. pregame) – every Streaks game all season long on WGIL with Mitch McVey and Jason Wessels! 🏀
