GALESBURG — Atem Agot (East Moline, Ill./United Township) collected his sixth double-double of the season and Eric Price (Galesburg, Ill./Galesburg) nearly matched his season-high in scoring, but Kishwaukee was able to hold off the Carl Sandburg College men’s basketball team 75-62 on Thursday at John M. Lewis Gymnasium.
