Friday night at John Thiel Gym, the Galesburg boys basketball team got a win over the Quincy Blue Devils for the first time since 2021. And they did so in impressive fashion, 63 - 51. The Silver Streaks did it with poise and strong play both inside and outside, with senior leadership, and their power game down low.

The teams went back-and-forth early in the 3rd quarter before Galesburg went on little 10 - 3 run to take an 8 point lead into the 4th quarter and held Quincy at bay the rest of the way.

The Streaks were led by a career-high 25 points from senior guard, Keigen Crummer, who did most of his scoring from the free throw line, where he was 14 of 16. He handled the point and knocked down big free throws late in the game to secure the victory. Eden Mayala was right behind Crummer with a double-double, 22 points and 13 rebounds. Cesaire Bile scored 10 points and Rahkim McCellan finished with 6. Overall, Galesburg shot 18 of 45 from the field, 3 of 13 from 3-point range, and 24 of 33 from the free throw line. They grabbed 29 rebounds, had 6 assists, and committed only 6 turnovers while forcing 16 turnovers by the Blue Devils.

With his strong senior leadership and clutch free throws down the stretch, Keigen Crummer was named the Dave's Auto Body Crunch Time Player of the Game. In addition to his 25 points, he finished with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 5 steals to help break the losing streak to Quincy in his final season at GHS.

The Silver Streaks are now 16 - 11 on the season. They move to 5 - 6 and sole possession of 4th place in the Western Big 6 Conference.

Next up for the Galesburg boys is a road trip to Sterling Tuesday night for another conference match-up. Brad Bennewitz and Jason Wessels will have live coverage starting with the pregame at 6:40pm on 93.7 FM and 1400 AM WGIL and wgil.com.
