Legends Galesburg Played Against

Part of what has made Galesburg boys and girls basketball exciting thru the years has been the rivalries. The Streaks have played against some outstanding players thru the years. Many went onto star at colleges like Duke, Illinois, Iowa, Purdue, South Carolina, Tennessee, La Tech, and Indiana. Over twenty opposing players went onto to play in the NBA or the WNBA. 

I have put together a list of great players, who Galesburg played. This is NOT a list of the best players that Galesburg has played- it is just a list!!

I am going to give you a player’s or a coach’s picture and the player’s or coach’s high school, then you name who the player is. Get out a pad of paper- the correct answers are at the end. Please share your score in the comments- type your name and your score. Good luck!
