After a couple of weeks on the road, the Galesburg Silver Streaks football team returned home Friday night for a Western Big 6 match-up against the Geneseo Maple Leafs and ended up suffering their third loss on the season, 38-20.

The Silver Streaks racked up 131-yards rushing in the game. Grady Hickey had 11 carries for 17 yards, Corey McGee 9 carries for 37 yards with 2 touchdowns, Bradley Eaton had 35-yards rushing, including a touchdown. Kevin Phillips carried the ball 6 times for 39-yards, and Prosper Aremu had a couple of carries for 3 yards.

In the air, Grady Hickey finished the night with 17 of 28 passing for 168 yards. Bradley Eaton had 5 receptions for 59 yards, Demetrius Watson with five catches for 47 yards, Antwon Walker 4 receptions for 37-yards, Corey McGee had 2 catches for 8-yards, Ayden Clark snagged a 13-yard reception, and Zacheriah Smith had a reception for 8-yards.

The Streaks were penalized 7 times for 35-yards, they were 4 of 10 on 3rd downs, and 1 of 2 on 4th downs.

With their renewed energy coming out of half-time for the Silver Streaks, all of the candidates for the Dave's Autobody Crunch Time Player of the Game had big moments in the 2nd half. Kevin Phillips helped keep a critical drive alive when the Streaks were down 24-6. Galesburg started the drive on their 10 yard line, and on a 4th down play, Phillips broke free to get the needed yards to keep the drive alive. It ended up being a 14-play drive resulting in a touchdown and kept the game competitive at that point in the 3rd quarter. So Kevin Phillips receives his first Dave's Autobody Crunch Time Player of the Game award!

The Silver Streaks are back on the road next week when the head to Quincy Notre Dame.
