NASHVILLE – Senior forward Talesha Gilmore hit a milestone on Friday night, becoming the all-tme leading rebounder in Collinsville’s girls basketball history, also scoring 17 points to help lead the Kahoks to a 54-31 win over Trenton-Wesclin Friday night in the Nashville Thanksgiving Tournament at Nashville High School.
Gilmore broke Raven Berry’s all-time record of 880 rebounds by grabbing eight on the night, and also helped lead the 14-0 run after the game was tied 10-10, with the Kahoks never looking back after that to take the win.
