More on Galesburg's trip to UNC

I'm sure everyone remembers this, right? I traveled up to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to watch the girls' team from Galesburg (Ill.) High School on my birthday? Less than two weeks ago? Remember? Good, I thought so.

Coach Evan Massey was kind enough to pass along some stats from the eight games the Silver Streaks played at the camp (finishing with a 5-3 record), and I wanted to share. This is a great look at the depth they will continue to have this season despite losing five seniors from last season's team that reached the Elite Eight.

Some of the players sat out a game or two to rest injuries, and these are the totals for the entire camp. Here we go:

Points

Allison Mangieri......................59
Sharron Diggins......................48
Jessica Lieber..........................44
Paige Klinck............................29
Myra Diggins..........................27
Chloe Anderson......................24
Sadee Hamilton......................16
Rainee Sibley..........................15
Hannah Smith.........................12

3-pointers

Mangieri.......................17
Lieber, S. Diggins.........12
Klinck............................8

Rebounds

M. Diggins.......................27
Anderson.........................24
Hamilton, Jackson.............16
Klinck.............................14
Lieber, Mangieri, S. Diggins.......12
Micayla Eisele......................10

Offensive rebounds

M. Diggins...........................14
Anderson............................13
S. Diggins.............................9
Sibley, Jackson, Mangieri.......8
Dani Teel..............................7
Klinck...................................6
Marisa Miller, Eisele, Lieber.....5

Steals

Lieber..................................12
Mangieri..............................10
S. Diggins............................9
Hannah Smith, M. Diggins.....6
Hamilton, Anderson, Teel.......5

Great stuff there. A huge thanks to Coach Massey for getting those to me (well, not just me, he posted them on his blog.) Another interesting factoid from his blog is the continuing development of his players, mostly on their own. He said he often gets texts from players interested in getting into the gym to shoot; a huge shoutout to Rainee Sibley, who became the first player this off-season to reach 5,000 made 3s. That's a lot of shooting.

Best of luck to her on her quest for 10,000 (a total the now-departed Jessica Howard put up last summer), and best of luck to the rest of the players as they prepare for the upcoming season.
