REPLAY: Galesburg Silver Streaks football vs Quincy

In a rare Thursday night game in the Western Big 6, the Galesburg Silver Streaks football team faced an undefeated Quincy Blue Devils team that is currently ranked 5th in the state in Class 7A. The Blue Devils scored first less than halfway through the first quarter and never looked back. They went on to win 45 - 0. The Streaks fall to 1 - 5 on the season.
Since there really wasn't a crunch time in the game, the Dave's Auto Body Crunch Time Player of the Game was awarded to Caden Riley for solid execution overall during the game, instead of just one particular moment. The junior quarterback was 11 of 18 passing with no turnovers and signs of continued improvement leading the offense.
Next up for the Silver Streaks is a road trip to Rock Island next Friday (10/11), still in the hunt for their first conference win of the season.

REPLAY: Galesburg Silver Streaks football @ Geneseo

The Galesburg Silver Streaks football team went on the road to Geneseo for their 2nd Western Big 6 Conference game of the season. The Maple Leafs engineered a scoring drive in the 4th quarter that put them on top with just over a minute to go in the game and they went on to win, 28 - 21. The Streaks had a number of opportunities in the 2nd half to get the points that they needed, but it was Geneseo that prevailed and got their first conference win of the season.
Jamar Range had an incredible game with 36 carries for the Silver Streaks for a total of 349 yards and 3 touchdowns.
The Dave's Autobody Crunch Time Player of the Game was Streaks' offensive center, Asher Whitcomb. He was out last week due to an injury, and his return for tonight's game made a huge difference in the rhythm of the offense.
Due to a referee shortage, next week's game at Van Dyke Field has been moved to Thursday (10/3) night for the Streaks' conference game with the Quincy Blue Devils.
