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
