The Monmouth-Roseville Titan boys basketball team hosted the Ridgewood Spartans at the Shoebox at Monmouth-Roseville High School.

Ridgewood opened the game with great energy, scoring 23 points in the first quarter. The Titans, who trailed by eight at the start of the second quarter, scored 26 themselves to go into the half tied at 41. Another great start to the third quarter gave the Spartans a 48-41 lead but the Titans would come back again and get a fun, 81-72 win. Rashaun King led all scorers in the game with 26 points for Monmouth-Roseville. King made his first 13 free throws in the contest before finally missing his last shot. Quincy Talivaa, who poured in 30 points against the Spartans the first time around, scored 17 last night. Jacob Jones was also in double figures for Monmouth-Roseville with 11. Junior standout, Ganon Greenman led Ridgewood with 24. The Titans are (5-3) overall and host Bloomington Central Catholic on Saturday night at Monmouth-Roseville High School at 6:30.

The Galesburg Silver Streak girls earned a hard-fought 53-41 Western Big Six Conference win over Quincy at John Thiel Gym in Galesburg. The Streaks trailed 13-8 after one quarter but a 19-7 scoring advantage in the second quarter gave them a 7 point lead at the half. After scoring only six points in the 3rd frame, Galeburg put the game away with a 20 point final period. Kaylee Miller led Galesburg with 15 points, all from behind the 3-point arc. Riley Jenkins had 13 for the Silver Streaks, eight of those points came in the 4th quarter. Galesburg is (6-3) overall and (1-1) in the Western Big Six Conference.
