Moline 60, QHS 29

Our girls took it on the chin in a Western Big Six and home opening game at Blue Devil Gym.

Moline raced to a 10-0 lead and was never really threatened, steadily pulling away from a 30-15 halftime lead.

Macy Ferguson-Smith and Shelby Wires each had six points for the Blue Devils (1-2). Emily Hart added eight rebounds. Moline was led by Allyssa Decker's 11 points.

GAME BALL: Macy Ferguson-Smith, who scored all of Quincy's six points in the fourth quarter and mixed it up with a much bigger and physical Maroons front line. Also kudos to Katie Kuhn for not backing down and playing some good defense.

JV SCORE: Moline 66, QHS 15. Hayley Womack had six points for the Blue Devils.

COVERAGE: Matt Schuckman will have a story about the game in tomorrow morning's Herald-Whig. We also appreciate the coverage in the Whig's special high school hoops section. WGEM also did a nice job in its preview special last weekend.

TOURNAMENT: Starts Friday, QHS plays Rantoul at 9 a.m.

PROGRAM: The QHS Girls Basketball Program is almost done, but some late ads pushed back production time and it may not be ready this weekend. Rosters for each team and the tournament schedule will be available.
