Massey Sports Quiz #6- 100 Streaks Players

This is the ultimate test to see if you are really a Streaks basketball super-fan. I have put up 100 pictures of former Galesburg girls and boys basketball players and coaches. This is NOT intended to be a list of the best players. I just tried to collect pictures of players from different decades- some famous and some not as famous.

If you want to just do Streaks boys basketball, answer only the odd questions. If you can answer 42, you are a Streaks Boys Basketball Super-Fan.

If you want to just do Streaks girls basketball, answer only the even questions. If you can answer 45, you are a Streaks Girls Basketball Super-Fan!

If you want to do both boys and girls basketball, answer all 100 questions. If you can answer 80 of the 100, you are a Streaks Basketball Super-Fan!!

My money is on Jimmie Carr for first place, and Dave Wood for second place. Have fun- once done- in comments type in your score and type in your name!!

HOF Insights- Approach to Big Games

What was your approach to “big games” during the regular season? Did you add things for these games? Did you tend to be more aggressive in your in-game decisions or play more conservatively? Did you pump up the team to make them aware it was a “big game” or did you treat it like “just another game?”
