The
Silver Streak athletic program provides students a chance to
compete in a variety of sports. Currently, GHS offers 10 boys
sports and 10 girls sports, along with cheerleading and Gadets.
GHS athletes are challenged to succeed both on
the playing field and in the classroom as the school maintains one
of the
highest academic standards in the Western Big 6 Conference.
Senior Day
Streaks
top Rock Island
GHS' varsity boys tennis
team celebrated their final home meet of the season in style
Thursday, winning 8-1 over conference rival Rock Island. The Streaks lost
only one doubles match as they secured their 11th dual meet
win on "Senior Day". Saturday, the GHS boys will travel
to Rock Island for the Western Big 6 championships.
Streaks win in five innings
GHS' varsity softball team
picked up their fifth win of the season Thursday, as they
dominated Peoria High 17-0 in five innings. Kelly Blucker and
Brooke Krisher combined efforts on the mound to throw a no-hitter
at the Lady Lions. Blucker struck out five and Krisher, seven. GHS
only needed to get three outs in the field. Blucker also led the 16-hit Streak attack with three hits, including
two in a nine-run second inning. Friday, the GHS varsity will host
Aledo in another non-conference contest.
DAVENPORT - GHS' varsity baseball team
got to play
in a pro park Thursday, but didn't get enough pitching to go seven
innings against Rock Island. The Rocks took advantage of 12 walks
issued by two Streak pitchers to score an 11-1 non-conference
victory in the Quad Cities River Bandits' Modern Woodmen Park. With the loss, the Streaks saw
their season record slip to 10-15. They will look to rebound in the Pontiac
Tournament this weekend.
