Note about last two posts

Thank you to the person who posted on the Illini West game being canceled.

Two game recaps were missing. They were originally posted on this site but somehow got removed. I'm looking into it at this time. I try to post results as soon as possible, though I'm not always at a computer or have access until the following day.

Again, thanks for your patience.

Rock Island 57, QHS 34

Another slow start and turnovers once again hampered Quincy in a Dec. 6 home loss to Western Big Six foe Rock Island. Sophomore Ashleigh Spiegelhoff had a career-high 10 points to lead Quincy.

East Moline 54, QHS 22

In game played Thursday, Dec. 13, East Moline jumped to a 14-2 lead and was never threatened in a Western Big Six game against the visiting Blue Devils. Junior Haylee Ott had seven points to lead Quincy, which dressed only seven players due to illness and injury.

Chatham game canceled

This mornings snowfall has canceled today's game at Chatham Glenwood. No makeup date has been announced.

8th Graders Win State Title

The Quincy Junior High School eighth-grade girls won a state title Thursday night with a 39-38 win over Country Club Hills Southwood in the Class 4A title game in Clinton.

It's the second straight state title for these girls, who won it as seventh-graders last year.

Tori Kuhn had 12 points to lead the Comets, who trailed 29-21 entering the final quarter, but got three fourth-quarter baskets by Anna Leenerts and a putback basket by Breanna Scholfield off a missed free throw with eight seconds left.

Get used to seeing those names ... they'll be freshmen next year and will likely be valuable members of the QHS basketball program.

Congrats to the Comets and Coach Mac Meyer!

Illini West Game Canceled
