Streaks Ranked #5 in Illinois

The Streaks are ranked #5 in the first Illinois basketball poll. We all know polls are more meaningful at the end of the season than at the beginning of the year. We all know that polls are not always accurate.

Despite all of that- our girls should be proud to be rated in the first poll. It is a reflection on several things. It is first a reflection that our present group has worked hard and are seen to have great potential.  And it is also a reflection that our program has a nice tradition.



This is the 24th time in the last 26 years the Streaks have been rated in the top 20. And this is the 16st time in the last 21 years the Streaks have been rated in the top 10. The Streaks highest ratings have been:
1997- #1
1999- #1
2000- #2
1995- #4
1996- #5

So this is the 6th time Galesburg has been rated in the top 5 in Illinois. It will be really exciting if we are rated this high in March!!

The Streaks will play 11 games vs teams rated in Illinois- so we will certainly find out how good we are!!
