In their second game of the day on Saturday at the Thanksgiving Tournament at John Thiel Gym, the Silver Streaks girls basketball team extended their undefeated start to the season to 4 games with a win over the Springfield Senators, 78 - 56.

A true team effort in the scoring for the Streaks with 10 players scoring in the game.  Zaniyah Carter led the way with 18 points, both Taylor Herchenroder and Jozalyn Kilgore each scored 12, 10 points from Grace Herchenroder, and Lily Furrow finished with 8 points. Overall the team was 34 of 64 from the field, 7 of 15 from the 3-point line, and 3 of 6 from the charity stripe. Galesburg had 28 rebounds, 21 team assists, and only 10 turnovers. The Streaks defense forced 18 turnovers by Springfield.

With the balanced output by the team, it was a tough choice, but Zaniyah Carter was named the Dave's Auto Body Crunch Time Player of the Game. She finished with 18 points and a couple of rebounds, assists, and steals.

The GHS girls basketball team continued play in their own Thanksgiving Tournament at John Thiel Gym Saturday morning against Metamora. It was a back and forth game to begin with and Galesburg trailed for the first time this season, but only briefly. The Silver Streaks went on a 28 - 7 run the rest of the 1st half and went on to handily win over the Redbirds, 59 - 43.

Jozalyn Kilgore led the way in scoring for Galesburg with 17 points, Lily Furrow finished with 10, Grace Herchenroder scored 8, and both Zaniyah Carter and Ella Herchenroder ended with 7 points. Overall the Streaks were 24 of 54 from the field, 4 of 10 from the three-point line, and 6 of 10 from the free-throw line. They pulled down 21 rebounds, had 10 assists, and committed 12 turnovers. Once again Galesburg was tenacious on defense and caused Metamora to turnover the ball 25 times in the game.

There were several candidates, but ultimately the Dave's Auto Body Crunch Time Player of the Game award went to a player that was integral in the 28-7 run that Galesburg had in the first half to take control of the game. Mitch McVey and Jason Wessels awarded that title to Jozalyn Kilgore, who finished with 17 points and 3 rebounds in the game.
