Welcome to the Local Sports recap, brought to you by Carson Olson.

This was a rough week with lots of bad weather cancelling many of the events.

Varsity Baseball split with conference foe Sterling.  The Streaks lost the Monday night game but won the Friday evening game (rescheduled from Wednesday due to rain). Monday, the Streaks came up short 3-8. Braley Burford (Sr.) went 3-4 with 2 RBIs. On Friday, Streaks played at home and defeated Sterling 11-1. Streaks relied heavily on Nicolas Ojeda (Jr). who had a huge performance going 3-4, Brandon Bruington (Sr). was another huge factor, scoring 2 runs while going 2-3. Streaks are now 4-6 and take on Quincy tonight at home.

Freshman baseball picked up a home win, beating East Peoria.

Boys’ and Girls’ Track was in action on Wednesday, hosting Knoxville and Canton.  Many athletes could participate as it was an "Open" meet. 

The girls’ track team traveled to Moline on Saturday for the Shipley Invitational.  They took 2nd place overall

All these teams are in action this week and hopefully the weather cooperates a little better.
