Game Day: Galesburg @ (6A #2) Rock Island

The Rock Island Rocks, ranked #2 in this week's IHSSN Class 6A Coaches Poll (http://www.ihssn.net/2010-football/preseason), host the Galesburg Silver Streaks in a Western Big 6 matchup. Rocky is led by 6'0" 235 pound FB Nikko Watson, who has rushed for 1,057 yards in five games this season. Galesburg has a balanced offensive attack with running backs Robert Jackson and Travon Diggins, along with the dangerous run/pass threat of quarterback Andrew Steck. Despite the Rocks having a stranglehold on the series in recent seasons, the games have been some tightly contested battles.

2008: Rock Island wins 21-0 (7-0 at the start of 4th quarter)
2007: Rock Island wins 28-7
2006: Rock Island wins 20-6
