I love AAU and travel basketball but if you want to be an elite player, you need to be in gym working on skills not just playing games. Hint: the guys that put the most effort in will most likely reap the most rewards.
It didn't end the way we wanted but we have alot to be proud of. I just want to say thanks to all the players especially the seniors for playing their hearts out this season. I enjoyed every second.

Thanks for the Galesburg crew for making the trip to DeKalb to support the Barbs. We truly appreciate the love and support. Remember next time to wear a little more orange.
Barbs had 4 All DVC Selections
Trenton Kyler and Lane McVicar were unanimous 1st team selections.
Special Mention- Tyler Westberg
Honorable Mention- Martez Jackson
Trenton Kyler was also named DVC MVP/Player of the Year
Congrats guys!!
It’s time for the best high school basketball state in the country to get even better and add the shot clock. Will be tremendous for players, coaches and fans and add even more excitement to the game.

@MaineSouthHoops
family following the unspeakable tragic event. The entire Galesburg basketball family is thinking of you tonight.
Please pray for Marlon King”s family and friends. Marlon”s positive spirit and work ethic had a HUGE effect on our Barb Basketball family. He will be sorely missed by me and the rest of our program. Marlon was a 2022 DHS graduate.

10-1 over the last four days for the Barbs! 7-0 at the Morris Shootout and 3-1 at Ridgewood. No rest or excuses in DeKalb. Very proud of our guys for showing mental and physical toughness. The process is ongoing.

Big 2-0 week for the Barbs. Defeated two really good teams (Neuqua Valley and Sycamore). Both games were physical and hard fought. Our record is now 20-5 and 6-0 in the DVC.

Dear Dekalb Basketball team,
You all should be proud of this incredible season. Congrats to the seniors for leading this team to being regional champs. Thank you Mike Reynolds for the impact you left on the team and the fans, your passion for the game is truly inspirational.
My thoughts and prayers are with Coach Lindauer’s family, Moline and UT communities. Loved our talks and his advice about coaching my son. On Thursday, it was great to see him laughing and smiling with the coaches and players. DL certainly was one of a kind.

Barbs continue their hot streak by beating a very talented Neuqua Valley team. 10-0 and 4-0 in the DVC. Next game will be at Metea Valley on Friday night.
Excited to start practice number one as a Barb. Can't remember starting the season in the snow but I guess Nothing comes easy.

and the Galesburg High School softball program on their sweep vs. Moline. Wasn't very long ago it was 34-0 in a doubleheader. What a turnaround in a few years. Congrats.
