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!
