Meet the Streaks....Basketball at a Fever Pitch

Just days away from the debut of the 2009-10 basketball season. Tonight, I partook (is that a word?) in the Meet the Streaks Girl's Basketball night at John Thiel Gymnasium in Galesburg. The event had a freshman vs. freshman scrimmage, sophomores facing off, and the main event was four quarters (8 minutes each) of the varsity playing male faculty members. This was a barnburner, in your face, fast-paced contest. The faculty roared back in the 4th quarter for the win. This marked the mainstream public's first witnessing of coach Evan Massey's Grinnell-style offense at Galesburg. It should be a fun season, and look forward to broadcasting most of the Streaks girls games on 1590 WAIK. Next week marks the start of the girl's hoops season, and IHSSN.net will be covering many girl's games this year, plus the revamping of both our boy's and girl's basketball scoreboards. I will blog about the new scoreboard, and the start of the games on Friday.
