The Pacheco's- Megan & Sarah

From 1996 thru 2001, Galesburg girls basketball won a record six supersectionals in a row. After a win in 2001, an opposing coach commented, "I am so tired of seeing the Pacheco's." Megan and Sarah Pacheco were key players on five of the six teams. Every year it seemed like Megan or Sarah had an heroic performance on our trips to State.


1997- vs. Belvidere at DeKalb Supersectional- Megan as a freshmen scored regularly on a lob play from Molly Watson.

1998- vs. Rock Island at Rock Island Sectional- Megan as a sophomore grabbed a high pass from Jaque Howard, scored inside, was fouled, and made the free throw. The play helped break open a close game.

1999- vs. Harlem at NIU Supersectional- sophomore Sarah in the closing seconds hit the game winner off of a pass from sophomore Rachel Bicego to send us to state with a game winner.
