Update From Thiel Gymnasium

Galesburg varsity downed Belvidere North, 44-28. Streaks made some nice passes. Galesburg has shifted away from last year's Grinnell-style, run-shoot-run-shoot-run-shoot, offense. Looks like Coach Massey has modified the system a bit. Sophomore Rainee Sibley has played well in her first time with varsity. Kat Mangieri is not playing basketball this season.

Talked with my buddy Jimmie Carr, who was a member of coach John Thiel's 1958-59 Streaks team that went down to state and trophied. He talked about this year's team and some of the up-and-comers. I asked sophomore coach Mike Rux about a tall freshman, Jaylen Cruz. She did really well this past spring in track and field, going to state for Lombard Junior High. She has some great post size, and Rux is looking at her this summer.

As I type, Alleman facing Knoxville. No Jay Hatch sightings this weekend, I will try to find out where he is.
